Harris vows Biden-era health care programs will get bigger if she’s elected
Vice President Kamala Harris laid out her economic agenda Friday, and much of her plan involves taking the health care accomplishments made by the Biden administration further.
Speaking in North Carolina, Harris vowed that under her administration, Medicare negotiations would continue and grow to encompass all Americans, not only Medicare beneficiaries.
“Just yesterday we announced that we are lowering the price by up to 80 percent for 10 more lifesaving drugs, and I...

15 state AGs sue Biden administration over ObamaCare coverage for ‘Dreamers’
A coalition of 15 state attorneys general are suing the Biden administration over its plan to expand Affordable Care Act (ACA) health coverage to immigrants brought to the U.S. illegally as children.
The states, led by Kansas Attorney General Kris Kobach (R), want to stop the administration’s plan from taking effect Nov. 1.
Under the rule, active recipients of Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) will be eligible to enroll in a taxpayer-subsidize...
Walz’s record on health care: Progressive with a dash of pragmatism
Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D), who was chosen Tuesday to be Vice President Harris’s running mate, brings a progressive approach to health care, with a focus on reducing costs.
Walz has said his health policy priorities have been shaped in part by his personal experience. His father died of cancer when Walz was 19, leaving his mother drowning in medical debt.
In June, Walz signed a law banning medical providers from withholding medically necessary care due to unpai...

Where Kamala Harris stands on health care issues
Vice President Kamala Harris, who said she will seek the Democratic nomination after President Biden decided not to continue his reelection campaign, has previously staked out health positions to the left of President Biden.
But there isn’t expected to be much daylight between her policy priorities and President Biden’s.
Harris will be able to claim ownership of Biden’s health wins—like a $35 insulin cap, Medicare drug price negotiations and an out-of-pocket c...
JD Vance’s views on health care: What to know
Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio), who was tapped as former President Trump's running mate Monday, has been in the Senate for less than two years but has staked out health care positions that both buck his party and toe the GOP line.
Vance is a Yale-educated venture capitalist, but rode the wave of Trump-era populism to a Senate seat. Like most Republicans, he is strongly anti-abortion, opposes gender-affirming care and wants to exclude "Dreamer" immigrants from federal health programs. ...
7 states sue to block new Biden transgender nondiscrimination rule
Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey (R) and six other states are suing to prevent the implementation of a federal rule that expands nondiscrimination rules to include transgender people. This lawsuit comes on the heels of a federal judge issuing a preliminary injunction last week against the rule in a separate federal case.
“Joe Biden is once again exceeding his legal authority to force his radical transgender ideology onto the American people,” Bailey wrote in a press re...
