Protect Our Care is announcing its sixth nationwide Lower Costs, Better Care bus tour, which will kick off September 23. From New Hampshire to California, elected officials, storytellers, and health care advocates will sound the alarm about the threat Donald Trump and MAGA Republicans pose to American health care. As they fight to raise costs on working families, the Biden-Harris administration has improved access to quality and affordable health care. Over six weeks, Care Force One will travel to more than 17 states, make more than 50 stops, and travel nearly 12,000 miles.
Thanks to the Biden-Harris administration, Americans are saving more than ever on health costs: the cost of insulin is capped at $35 dollars, seniors are protected from drug company price hikes, seniors’ prescription drug costs will be capped at $2,000 dollars annually starting in January per year starting next year, and Medicare finally has the power to negotiate lower prescription drug prices.
At the same time, Donald Trump and his Republican allies are working overtime, escalating their attacks on American health care and doubling down on their plan to deny affordable, lifesaving health care to tens of millions across the country. If Republicans get their way, they will raise costs, deny coverage to millions of people, slash funding for Medicare and Medicaid, and make it even harder to access reproductive health care. The contrast between the Biden-Harris administration and Trump’s Republican Party couldn’t be clearer.
