Second link doesn't work.  Maybe i'm wrong, but it looks like more handouts for the poor.

If the Veterans bill is legit like you listed than I definitely support that also.

I think this link works.

Here is an interesting quote, therefrom:

The Biden administration seems unlikely to achieve what remains the holy grail for Medicaid advocates: getting 12 holdout states, including Texas and Florida, to expand Medicaid coverage to low-income working-age adults through the Affordable Care Act....
Mounting evidence shows that expanded Medicaid coverage improves enrollees' health, as surveys and mortality data in recent years have identified greater health improvements in states that expanded Medicaid through the 2010 health law versus states that did not.
In addition to removing Medicaid restrictions imposed by Trump administration officials, the Biden administration has backed a series of expansions to broaden eligibility and add services enrollees can receive.

I'll bet there are thousands in these red states complaining about Dems and pledging to vote Republican because they aren't receiving any good from the ACA so it was all a fraud gimmick to get votes.

You asked in another post why medical treatment and prescriptions cost so much in the U.S.  

Those prices will drop if we just cut more taxes on Big Pharma, as oil prices dropped when we cut taxes on Exxon et al.
In any case, that's the solution you'll be voting for if you vote Republican in the next two elections.
