VP Harris on How the Dems Can Course-Correct in Time for the Midterms: ‘We Need To Pay Attention to the Needs of American Families’

‘Let’s bring down the cost of prescription drugs’
By Grabien Staff

EXCERPT:

HARRIS: "Listen, the president made clear last night part of what we as leaders in the United States, both in the Congress and in the executive branch need to do is we need to pay attention to the needs of American families. And that is why we’re saying, for example, on the issue of childcare, working families shouldn’t pay more than 7 percent of their income in childcare. Families shouldn’t have to go broke taking care of their children. Let’s bring down the cost of prescription drugs. So many folks in our country -- we have relatives who have diabetes, insulin can cause people to literally make decisions about whether they buy food or have life saving drugs. And so let’s bring down the cost of working families and individuals don’t pay more than $35 a month for insulin. These are the things that we are attempting to do. The president also, I thought, did a spectacular job of trying to appeal to American leaders, regardless of party affiliation, to come together in a unified way around these issues that impact people regardless who have they voted for in the last election. That’s how we continue to make our country strong. And that’s our intention."
