Thank you. [applause] ■ [silence] no audio no audio hello. Im here to with the hs secretary. We have a lot to be getting. Congress is still wrestling with the healthcare budget and the budget from many other things. The Supreme Court is hearing arguments on two major abortion cases. We are, of course,oming up on a pivotal election. We have a different vision for healthcare looks like. The secretary is in the middle of all of these fire storms. We are excited to have him weighin on drug prices and ivf and still fighting over obamacare and what a second term healthcare agenda looks like for the Biden Administration. Thank you so much forus. Thank you very much. So the news. You are headed to capitol hill to argue for budgets that lays out what Biden Administration would try to accomplish in a second term. Looking through theocuments that have come out. The biggest goals are expansion and doubling down on programs that have, you know, all ready begun negotiations. Making obamacare cover more people. How do you balance sending off the lawsuits and also build on it. Id say, the good news is that while we have to fend off a lot of losses we can still chew the gum. If its on drug price negotiations. 10 of the companies that we are negotiating on have filed lawsuits against us to stop us from negotiating and submitted their counter offers. They are negotiating. Well continue to try to double down on those things that work. Seen a major impact of having 35 per month insulin for so many that need insulin to survive. The president would like to double town. Watching the show washington the drugs every year. If we save 100 billion for taxpayers and negotiate better prices lower costs and more americans. Thats what you were doing. What else would a second term healthcare agenda do in the selection. They would want them to know. The item would remain in office. President biden has taken the marketplace coverage with the Affordable Care act from 12 million. Each year, hes broken number of americans. Its at the greatest pieces have come in the black and brownhe mt uninsured. We did Something Different and go where they were and wait for them to come to us when they found out it was a great deal. They believe with the president s budget and commitment that what he would do is double down and make it continually affordable for folks to stay on. Today in america there were more people who have access to a doctor or hospital. More than 300 million today have their own Health Insurance coverage. We never hit that number before. Under this president we did. We have 25 million americans that dont have insurance coverage. The president has work to do sue of mind from having healthiest insurance of their own. Whats toe come this year and potentially in a second term. The white house will announce a new Healthcare Task force thats focused on lowering costs. Cost of care and not just drugs. So, what is that task force and their mandate . The president is pushing very hard for us to try■ to make things competitive as possible. What hes asking us to do is figure out ways, through competition we can lower the cost of medicine and healthcare. Well do everything we can topic make sure insance policies are more affordable and lower the price of drugs so more companies in the pharmaceutical market. We will doverything we can to put innovative medicines out there as quickly as we can. Well continue to make the effort to push the industries to become more competitive. At the end of the day, that helps lower the price. Will the task force focus on what the ecu do. Its been rough on capitol hill. Maybe you miss it and maybe you dont. You know, well do what we can with the authorities we currently have. Certainly, we are working with e authorities to go beyond. Negotiating for 50 drugs and lower the drugs instead of 10 or 15 on anna an annual basis that would be big. We saw during covid19 how important people could move around that were afraid to. How important it was to have access to their provider by internet or phone. Wed like to extend some of the telehealth flexibility. We need Congress Health because the statute is how we can access that care. We will need congress care. As we heard earlier today, the president is, you know, going out and trying to campaign on these accomplishments including the negotiations. A lot of voters dont know about it or it was a result of the president signing this bill into law. Sense. As the lower prices from the negotiations are still years away. People going to the pharmacy arent feeling the benefit yet. How can that message and, you know, the administration convey what alli ready been done, whats coming to those who might get not build aware of that. What you side could have applied to the Affordable Care act when it first began its implementation. Enfact, you cou have said the same about medicare in the is in the 19 60s. Seniors wont let you touch their medicare. Keep their hands off their medicare to make sure they keep it. So, i think talk about social security, medicare, medicaid today you have to add marketplace. When 21 million plus americans count on the marketplace for their healthcare coverage to make sure they cant be denied and keep their child under 26 continuing on their Health Insurance coverage. Make sure they have access to free Preventative Care service. The women can get Reproductive HealthServices Without a copay. All of that is part of the woulu have millions of americans saying keep your hands off our marketplace coverage. Its ber resting you bring up the Affordable Care act as an example. Democratto politically because the implementation was a lot slower. People heard this and not felt the benefitdo you make sure that happens. Again, you build towards it. I remember my colleagues that didnt return after voting for the Affordable Care act. They did the right thing. They lost their seat, they have to comfort of seeing how millions of americans have coverage. Today, the Affordable Care act if i can finish this answer and let alice how to handle that. The Affordable Care act has support. Once they see what they get they like what it is. Today, think of your own health. Today, in america. If you go on the marketplace website to look for insurance policies, four out of five of you, who go on, will find a Health Insurance policy with the protections i mentioned for t lm payments. For ten dollars or less, thats your premium, you get allthose. When you exercise the right to that care you get to go to quality providers, shouldnt surprise no one, for less than the prize of a cinema ticket at a theater today, you get a months worth of Health Insurance coverage. Not talking about the popcorn and refreshmanshy so many are sg on. On another subject big in you just traveled to alabama about people with ivf services were suspended. We are struggling with that. You released a new fact sheet we appreciate that. The data shows that usage of ivf has gone up a lot and its widely used according to the fact sheet in stateslanguage toa court sided in its ruling, so, i guess, what were you hoping in understand. At first, its important for all of us to recognize. Is the. That could mean, you want to wait awhile or menu are deaspirate to have a child. Either way, you try to plan your family. Why should a politician or judge get in the way how you plan well support every effort so a woman that needs healthcare services, when it comes to decisions about her shes able to exercise those rights. In many parts of o the country my daughters have fewer mother w how to exercise their reproductive rights. Ivf is no different. People can recognize how critical roe v. Wade was. It wasnt just about abortion. Of the day it was a statement about access to care and every american should have their right to
