When it comes to healthcare, President Trump and Joe Biden diverge on Obamacare, Medicare and Medicaid, abortion rights, how to rein in prescription drug prices, and, perhaps most importntly, the coronavirus pandemic.
Few issues have more sharply divided Republicans and Democrats over the last decade than healthcare, and so it is with President Trump and former Vice President Joe Biden.
Trump and Biden have outlined different strategies for reining in prescription drug prices. They take opposite approaches to reproductive health policy and abortion rights.And they have embraced distinct visions of public health and how to confront the coronavirus pandemic.Joe Biden, unlike President Trump, is an outspoken advocate for wearing a mask to prevent the spread of COVID-19.
He has indicated he would roll back Trump administration policies that loosened rules on health insurers and allowed some to offer limited insurance policies that cap benefits and exclude coverage for some diseases and preexisting conditions. Among the elements he cited were “masking; clear, science-based guidance; dramatically scaling up testing” and “giving states and local governments the resources they need to open schools and businesses safely.”
A spokesman for the campaign declined to offer any detail about Trump’s healthcare platform, saying only the president would “continue to prioritize the health and well-being of the American people while undoing the damage caused by the previous administration.”He remains a fervent supporter of rolling back the 2010 healthcare law, an effort he supported in his first year in office when Republicans pushed it in Congress.
In his 2016 campaign, Trump supported allowing Medicare to negotiate drug prices. Once in office, however, he dropped the idea, which has been fiercely opposed by drugmakers and Republican lawmakers.The Trump administration has strongly backed initiatives to restrict access to abortion, to block funding for Planned Parenthood and overseas aid groups that counsel women about abortion and to lift the rules that require health plans to cover contraceptives for women.
