I guess the White House is all for extending the ACA subsidies, now?

But the core problem is that there is no US law regulating the prices of medical services, items, or drugs.

California tried that with insulin. Republicans were of course horrified that people could afford it.

For all of Biden's faults, he did try to extend this at the national level. Naturally, we can't have that because God says fuck the poors or something (idk what the Evangelicals read but I haven't read it and I grew up Catholic).
