was like for him. plus, a huge jobs report raises the question, are recession fears overblown? it depends on who you ask. you re in the cnn news room. u.s. senators are expected to vote is tonight on the democrats sweeping health care, climate, and tax bill, and in turn, score president biden a massive legislative victory. the bill represents the largest climate investment in u.s. history. $369 billion in all four measures that are estimated to reduce carbon emissions by as much as 40% in less than ten years. and it gives medicare the power to negotiate drug prices and ensures medicare recipients will spend no more than $2,000 of their own money each year. to help pay for all of this, the legislation will establish a 15% minimum corporate tax on any u.s. company reporting more than $1 billion in earnings to its investors. now, this would impact companies like amazon, which paid zero federal income taxes in 2018. we are monitoring all of the action on capitol hill for you ton
