Opinion | Kyrsten Sinema is poisoning the Build Back Better bill and selling you out in the process. By lpackard
Unfortunately, their money is having an effect. The Build Back Better framework originally released by the White House didn't include pieces to lower drug prices. Taxes on billionaires' wealth, and higher tax rates on big corporations? Gone too. And because of the lack of revenue, Americans would be limited to a partial expansion of Medicare — just hearing services — and a time-limited version of ACA tax credits and filling the Medicaid gap, which expire after 2025.

It's now on the House and Senate to get the Build Back Better Act passed as quickly as possible, and for it to reach the president's desk without any further cuts or compromises.among Americans.
