Senate Democrats pass bill with largest climate investment in US history and measures to lower health care costs. It heads to the House.

The Senate voted Sunday afternoon to pass Democrats' sweeping health care and climate bill, sending it to the House of Representatives, in a significant victory for President Joe Biden and his party.

The bill -- named the Inflation Reduction Act -- would represent the largest climate investment in US history and make major changes to health policy by giving Medicare the power for the first time to negotiate the prices of certain prescription drugs and extending expiring health care subsidies for three years.

Democrat =CCP GOP =spineless

How ironic! Name of bill inflation reduction act and yet study found that there’s no effect on inflation and will increase deficit.

Prove it. We want receipts.

😂😂😂

So passing these freaking slush funds!!!!

Hey biased you forgot, and a huge tax hike for the already hurting middle class

We're going to have to elevate the standard for accounts as climate action to meaningfully solve for climate change.

'Russia saves money by communism but spend it in cutlery'

Anything about reducing inflation?

wtf? spending spree now? all this and a couple billion weekly for Ukraine... what could go wrong?

Gud

The democrats claim there is no recession and yet draft a bill to reduce it, sorry can't have it both ways, lying hypocrites

Biden will magically cool the earth. I can't wait to see it. Another money grab con game. 'snowman' Biden is a carny act on the American people

Even more climate investment? Wow they hace a Lot of money

The Republican Party is calling women who support Choice, “fat.” Why is the Republican Party (Gaetz & GOP men) at CPAC, endorsing Trump and calling women FAT? fat GOPsaysyouarefat ROEVEMBER

What about the damage USA is doing to the rest of the world one way or another? It won't work, I bet till whole the world work in collaboration against climate disaster. US nature of work is 'divide and rule'. Your project is waste of money and energy that's it

What worries me is will gas remain high until we get this fantastic renewable energy and we starve to death in the mean time!! Biden really doesn't want cheap gas because then he is afraid we will use it to much!!!

Giant pork pie which will contribute to more inflation.

What was hidden in the bill they didnt want to talk about as the reason the republicans voted against it. Always hidden shit. All y’all mfs need to stop bullshitten and lying

It does nothing for the climate..going green only gives China more money . Everything will be made in China and they will be polluting the air while doing it. Total BS bill

America will remember this in less than 95 days and in 2024 RedWave2022

She just can do the right thing. Ever.

Democrats carry on like they cured inflation and climate change. LOL 🤡

Has no one yet learned that anything government touches goes to crap yet?!!!

Even Bernie said it’s bad

I still don’t get how spending more money will reduce inflation in the short term… I swear these politicians think we are buying their shit

Wait... Republican Kyrsten Sinema is about to foil some Democrat health care & Climate bill? Say it ain't so 😱

how is a 7,000 rebate on a ev spose to help average Americans. cheapest ev is 39,000 with rebate thats 32,000. i could never afford that

Showing the repuglicans how it's done! LOVE IT!

USA Going bankrupt to pay climate $$ …china biggest polluter 10x paying 0$ and laughing…

Passing all this spending and then wondering why everything costs so much more and then trying to blame it on Republicans! Democrats will spend you into the poor house. ☹️

Sinema is a back stabbed

Let's see who you'll blame this failure on. Taxing and spending during a recession? You people are clueless.

CarbonCredits What a joke. And we keep electing these clowns.

Ohh good… gas back to $6.00 per gallon…

And it will do nothing of benefit for either

This bill is very bad for Americans!! Dems still destroying America!!! 😡😡😡😡

Here goes inflation and taxes. Nice move Dems.

More debt higher taxes during a certified recession will drive America towards stagflation perhaps a depression!

Why do we need more health care? Didn’t Obamacare fix everything?

Explain the lower health care costs why do I only see Medicare I don’t qualify for

She better because this bill is an assult on the average American citizen

0ll2929l0 Cynical Sinema is perfectly angling for her BIG BUX paydays on conservative corporate boards after her tits-on-bull bullshit posturing as a ONE TERM 'Democratic' Senator 😝😠👎

The Democrats spending bill passed. We will all be paying more at the pump and inflation will continue to increase and the higher taxes won't help family budgets. nytimes washingtonpost ABCPolitics CBSPolitics NBCPolitics

For the record, APFactCheck, this is right because there are one or two measures that lower healthcare costs... at the expense of higher prices elsewhere and a high likelihood that medical care will get worse.

Charade to enrich their cronies.

CNN labeling kyrstensinema SenatorSinema exactly what she is... member of the GOP

Time for corporations increase prices for poor ppl

We are clear there is no climate crisis. We are right where we are expected to be.

Kick her out of the party.

SINema is a fraud and a republican pretending to be democrat. It’s soooo transparent!

Start the printing press!!! 🙄

Imagine if Trump hadn’t gone to Georgia in early 2020 and torpedoed two GOP Senate seats…

Boy she loves seeing her name in print

Thank heavens for the voice of reason. What the Dems “claim” will be deficit reduction will without doubt turn into more spending.

More American money to China and loss of jobs for US energy industry TX NM PA OK etc.

Anyone actually believe she would do right by her constituents and the citizens of the USA have been grifted once again by the MAGATS. Vote this garbage out..

The money will be gone in a matter of days... And they will want more

La sanità ha dei costi infiniti , se pensate di diminuire i costi senza dire come fare finirete come l'Italia . Definite quanto deve costare per quelli che la pagano ,per gli assistiti una cifra precisa . La sanità ha bisogno di una buona politica , non di buon cuore.
