Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Trump take opposing stands on the Affordable Care Act and spar over who will best protect against steep costs for medical care.
Medicare. Drug costs. The fate of the Affordable Care Act. Healthcare — and who would handle it best — has continued to be contested turf in the final weeks of the presidential campaign. Polls show that Americans have ranked healthcare costs high on the agenda for national leaders. It's little surprise, then, that both Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Trump have pledged to bring down the cost of prescription drugs and protect Medicare.
Requiring Medicare plans to be more generous in drug benefits, however, has raised concerns that they could significantly increase premiums. The Biden administration avoided that for next year, on average, with the help of subsidies for insurers, but the Trump campaign has criticized the Inflation Reduction Act over that and other issues. Harris has promised to expand the $2,000 cap on out-of-pocket spending and the $35 monthly cap on insulin copays to cover everyone, not just seniors.
