Democrats in the House said Wednesday that paid family and medical leave will be placed back into their $1.75-trillion social and environmental spending bill, reviving a key element of President Biden’s agenda.
Senate Majority Leader Charles E. Schumer on Tuesday announced the prescription drug deal on one of the few remaining provisions that needed to be resolved in Biden’s big package as the party moves closer to wrapping up negotiations. Schumer acknowledged it’s not as sweeping as Democrats had hoped for, but a compromise was struck with one key holdout Democrat, Sen. Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona.
Still, Democrats shored up at least one unsettled provision — reviving the prescription drug deal that had been scrapped from Biden’s framework. AARP, the powerful organization for older Americans, signaled support as it waits for details. Chief Executive Jo Ann Jenkins said in a statement there was “no greater issue affecting the pocketbooks of seniors on Medicare than the ever-increasing costs of prescription drugs.”
Lol. Still not passing
Just VOTE ON THE DAMN BILL.
