About The Episode:

On this episode, Marc discusses how former President Biden deserves credit for expanding healthcare coverage and bringing drug price negotiations to Medicare.

Key Takeaways:  

On January 20, the presidential torch was passed from Joe Biden to Donald Trump.

Trump is only the second person to serve non-consecutive presidential terms.

America is in dire need of healthcare reform.

Main reform tenets should be access to affordable coverage, a focus on primary care and disease management, and price reform.

Now former President Joe Biden deserves credit for expanding healthcare coverage and bringing drug price negotiations to Medicare.

Affordable universal healthcare coverage is both a moral and economic imperative.

Biden embraced Medicaid and Exchange enrollment after Trump 45 sought to reduce commitment to and enrollment in each program.

Biden also is the first to bring price reform to a major government program. It could pay huge dividends over time.

The Trump 47 years could have major impact on the progress made on both fronts.

We expect major spending reductions that could contract coverage.

Whether Medicare drug price negotiations will continue is unknown.
