Vice President Kamala Harris says her administration would strengthen the Affordable Care Act ( ACA ) and expand the Inflation Reduction Act’s (IRA) cost-saving provisions.

The most talked-about in Harris 's campaign is the $ 35 cap on insulin.

It will put a $ 2,000 out-of-pocket annual spending cap on prescription drugs under Medicare starting in 2025 .

While Trump was in office, ACA insurance enrollment fell from 12.7 million people to 11.4 million .

Trump also proposed budget plans that would have cut $1 trillion to Medicaid if they’d been adopted.

Biden-Harris administration has actively promoted insurance enrollment and advocated ways to strengthen and protect the ACA .
