As his re-election effort gets underway, President Biden is signaling that health care — and particularly the cost of it — will be central to his campaign.
“We’re taking on powerful interests to bring your health care costs down,” he has said.
Biden is emphasizing the cost of health care partly because it has been one of his administration’s biggest priorities, even if other policies — such as those on the climate and infrastructure — receive more attention.
His administration has reduced the cost of hearing aids, reduced the cost of health insurance for people who buy it though an Obamacare exchange and reduced an array of expenses for Medicare recipients.
“Millions of people benefit from the health care provisions,” Larry Levitt, an executive vice president at KFF, a health care research group, told us.
