The US Congress has passed a sweeping healthcare reform bill that expands Medicare coverage and lowers prescription drug prices for millions of Americans. The law allows the government to negotiate directly with pharmaceutical companies, a move expected to reduce medicine costs significantly.
President Joe Biden called the bill “a historic victory for working families,” while critics argued that it could impact drug innovation. The bill also increases subsidies for health insurance under the Affordable Care Act.
Healthcare experts say this reform could reshape the American medical system and ease financial burdens on senior citizens.
