President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris are holding their first joint event since Biden exited the 2024 race and endorsed her to take his place atop the Democratic ticket.
The two are delivering remarks at an official event being held at Prince George’s County Community College in Maryland. They are talking about the economy and what their administration’s done to alleviate costs for Americans.
That includes the administration’s announcement earlier Thursday that the Department of Health and Human Services reached an agreement on price negotiations for 10 commonly used drugs that they say will save Medicare enrollees $1.5 billion in out-of-pocket costs when the new prices go into effect in 2026.
“It’s a relief for the millions of seniors that take these drugs to treat everything from heart failure, blood clots, diabetes, arthritis, Crohn’s disease, and more — and it’s a relief for American taxpayers”, Biden said in a statement.
While Biden is celebrating the outcome alongside Harris, she put out her own statement calling the deal “lifechanging for so many of our loved ones across the nation.”
“Every American should be able to access the health care they need no matter their income or wealth.
