"Budget Battle: Biden Takes on GOP over Health Care and Social Security"

President Biden defended his administration's policies on health care, including lowering the cost of prescription drugs and helping recipients of Medicare and Medicaid, while ramping up his defense of the Affordable Care Act. Republicans are looking for significant budget cuts to trim growing federal deficits, but Biden argued that his policies are helping Americans in numerous ways. The administration released data suggesting that seniors had benefited significantly from his efforts to cut the price of prescription drugs and eliminate out-of-pocket costs for many vaccines.
