SaysWho? Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 Really weird that we're just linking to the negative part of the parliamentarian and ignoring the bigger picture? Democrats near key vote on signature climate, tax and health care proposal - POLITICO WWW.POLITICO.COM One pillar of the party's plan to cut drug costs, affecting the private sector, got nixed by the Senate's nonpartisan rules referee. Climate? Everything is good, and that's the biggest part of this bill. Quote While the loss of their proposed prescription drug price benefits for the millions of Americans who get health insurance through private-sector employers stings hard, Democrats also got some good news overnight on their climate change plan — the Senate's rules arbiter signed off on that the bill's energy provisions, including electric vehicle tax credits and a bonus tax credit to encourage clean energy developers to pay the prevailing wage. Medicare negotiating down prices? In the bill. Excise tax on stock buybacks? In the bill. And all Democrats are for it. Hell, the rest of that Twitter thread that was left out fleshes out the positives, even those that attitude is taboo in these parts: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
