Unfortunately, their money is having an effect. The Build Back Better framework originally released by the White House didn't include pieces to lower drug prices. Taxes on billionaires' wealth, and higher tax rates on big corporations? Gone too. And because of the lack of revenue, Americans would be limited to a partial expansion of Medicare — just hearing services — and a time-limited version of ACA tax credits and filling the Medicaid gap, which expire after 2025.
