Biden Says Build Back Better ‘Close’

WHITE HOUSE

President Joe Biden has just delivered remarks at the White House on affordable health care and prescription medicine saying that Medicare cannot negotiate fair prices for prescriptions drugs.

  • Only Build Back Better can negotiate prices which better reflect research and development.
  • Biden: ‘We just need to get Build Back Better through the United States Senate, and we’re close’.
  • Biden’s remarks appear out of step with the day’s events. Senator Joe Manchin (D-WV) spoke earlier today on inflation giving his strongest condemnation yet of the high-ticket social spending provisions of Build Back Better.
  • According to Manchin and most observers the bill remains dead despite the ongoing Build Back Better tour.
