The Senate made history. The Inflation Reduction Act is one of the defining legislative measures of the 21st century and the Biden administration. On to the House for passage!

"The move was expected following a decision by the Senate parliamentarian, who determined earlier that the insulin provision was not compliant with the chamber's strict budget rules. Democrats need to comply with those rules to advance the legislation, called the Inflation Reduction Act, without any Republican votes.
The legislation, however, still includes a $35 copay cap on the price of insulin for people 65 and older on Medicare."
No, you don't understand how it works. The vote taken was to overrule the parliamentarian on this point which would have allowed the insulin provision to move forward as part of the bill. That is all Republicans needed to do. Republican refusal to allow this was nothing but a disgusting, cynical display of partisanship without regard for the welfare of those affected.

But they still will vote for them. They show over n over they are not for the people- I don’t get it
The bill extends the increased ACA subsidies through 2025, as well as allows higher incomes to qualify for subsidies on the exchange. Win for the millions who need healthcare and don't have it provided by an employer, as the increased subsidies were set to expire at the end of 2022.
And not one democrat voting aainst it. What is your point?
