It's about time we make some more progress.

Our budget lays out a stark contrast.
We value everyone having a decent shot. We value seniors and hardworking Americans.
MAGA Republicans in Congress value Big Pharma over lowering drug costs for seniors.

We will do everything we can to help. We will work together to deliver the support you need to recover, for as long as it takes.

We're strengthening Medicare and Social Security.
My budget would extend the life of the Medicare Trust Fund beyond 2050. Meanwhile, MAGA Republicans in Congress are threatening to gut it.

The Affordable Care Act expanded Medicaid to cover millions more people. That means more cancers detected early, more mental health treatment available, and less medical debt.

We capped the cost of insulin at $35/month for seniors on Medicare.
Then, the three biggest insulin manufacturers in the country announced they’re lowering prices as well. Congress, let’s finish the job.

Thanks to the American Rescue Plan, which not one Republican in Congress voted for, millions have enrolled in the Affordable Care Act, many saving an average of $800 a year for better coverage at better prices.
Some MAGA Republicans have voted repeatedly to try and repeal it.

We've built on the Affordable Care Act to lower health care and prescription drug costs even more. If MAGA Republicans in Congress try to take away people’s health care by gutting Medicaid or the Affordable Care Act—I will stop them.

With the stroke of a pen, after decades of tireless efforts, millions of Americans gained peace of mind.

We’ve restored protections the previous administration rolled back for several national monuments.
We are not just protecting the lives of people who depend on them—like family farms, rural communities, and more—we are protecting the heart and soul of our nation.

We are working every day to bring families more breathing room. Congress should still pass legislation to ensure everybody can get insulin for no more than $35 per month, along with a Junk Fee Prevention Act, and legislation to make child care more affordable and accessible.

I just vetoed my first bill.
This bill would risk your retirement savings by making it illegal to consider risk factors MAGA House Republicans don't like.
Your plan manager should be able to protect your hard-earned savings — whether Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene likes it or not.

We are focused on getting more people affordable health care and giving families just a little bit of breathing room.
We passed historic laws like the Inflation Reduction Act to get that done. And now, we're moving quickly to implement those laws so people can feel the effects.

All three of the leading insulin producers in America have agreed to substantially reduce their prices, following my calls to expand my $35 cap for seniors to all Americans.
Sanofi is the latest company to recognize that charging hundreds of dollars for insulin is wrong.

I am determined to once again ban assault weapons and high-capacity magazines.
I led that fight in 1994. For the ten years it was in place, mass shootings went down. When Republicans let it expire, mass shootings tripled.
Let’s finish the job and ban assault weapons.

Because of actions that our regulators have already taken, every American should feel confident their deposits will be there if and when they need them.
The management of these banks will be fired and investors in the banks will not be protected.

I am pleased that, in line with my call, Novo Nordisk will be lowering their insulin prices by 75%, following Eli Lilly’s action.
This builds on the important progress we made last year when I signed a law to cap insulin at $35 for seniors. I urge others to follow.
