00:10.540 --> 00:12.850
Well , thank you very much . Thank you .

00:12.860 --> 00:16.130
Thank you very much . So , Maney

00:16.140 --> 00:19.620
doctors So money . Fantastic . Doctors ,

00:19.620 --> 00:21.953
nurses . That's great . Please sit down .

00:25.640 --> 00:27.473
I'm thrilled to be here in North

00:27.473 --> 00:29.251
Carolina . Was so many of these

00:29.340 --> 00:32.630
unbelievable professionals , doctors ,

00:32.630 --> 00:35.880
nurses and amazing healthcare workers

00:35.880 --> 00:38.640
really in honor of mind as the world

00:38.640 --> 00:40.862
witnessed during our battle against the

00:40.862 --> 00:43.090
China virus , America has the greatest

00:43.090 --> 00:46.650
medical professionals anywhere on earth .

00:47.840 --> 00:50.660
Today I will lay out my vision for a

00:50.660 --> 00:53.210
health care system that puts patients

00:53.210 --> 00:56.720
first families first and perhaps most

00:56.720 --> 00:58.720
importantly for all of us , America

00:58.720 --> 01:01.060
first . Thank you ,

01:01.070 --> 01:06.120
Theo .

01:06.130 --> 01:08.270
Under the America First Health Care

01:08.270 --> 01:10.230
Plan , we will ensure the highest

01:10.230 --> 01:12.620
standard of care anywhere in the world .

01:12.630 --> 01:14.741
Cutting edge treatment , state of the

01:14.741 --> 01:16.963
art medicine , groundbreaking cures and

01:16.963 --> 01:19.920
true health security for you and your

01:19.930 --> 01:23.140
loved ones . And we will do it rapidly

01:23.140 --> 01:25.600
and it's in very good order . And some

01:25.600 --> 01:28.460
of it has already been implemented . In

01:28.460 --> 01:30.620
short , we're delivering better care

01:30.630 --> 01:33.590
with more choice and a much lower cost

01:33.600 --> 01:35.950
and working to ensure Americans have

01:35.960 --> 01:39.160
access to the care they need . My plan

01:39.160 --> 01:41.600
expands affordable insurance options ,

01:41.670 --> 01:44.220
reduces the cost of prescription drugs ,

01:44.380 --> 01:47.210
will end surprise medical billing

01:47.380 --> 01:49.400
increases fairness through price

01:49.400 --> 01:52.260
transparency , streamlines bureaucracy ,

01:52.260 --> 01:54.170
accelerates innovation , strongly

01:54.170 --> 01:57.530
protects Medicare and always protects

01:57.530 --> 02:00.230
patients with pre existing conditions .

02:00.540 --> 02:00.780
The

02:00.790 --> 02:09.420
thieves ,

02:09.430 --> 02:11.830
By contrast , the Democrat Party is

02:11.830 --> 02:14.450
pushing a socialist nightmare . Their

02:14.450 --> 02:16.990
plans will result in rationing care ,

02:17.440 --> 02:20.320
denying choice , putting Americans on

02:20.320 --> 02:23.140
wait lists , driving the best doctors

02:23.150 --> 02:25.420
out of medicine permanently and

02:25.420 --> 02:29.150
delaying life saving cures . Over

02:29.150 --> 02:32.140
130 Democrats in Congress , including

02:32.140 --> 02:34.580
Senator Harris , have endorsed

02:34.580 --> 02:36.800
legislation to outlaw the private

02:36.800 --> 02:40.130
health plans of 180 million Americans .

02:40.140 --> 02:42.520
On top of it all , former Vice

02:42.520 --> 02:44.576
President Joe Biden promised to give

02:44.576 --> 02:47.090
free federal health care to anyone in

02:47.090 --> 02:49.070
the world to illegally crosses our

02:49.070 --> 02:51.980
border . His plan to provide government

02:51.980 --> 02:54.170
healthcare to illegal immigrants would

02:54.180 --> 02:56.360
bankrupt our health care system ,

02:56.370 --> 02:59.140
collapse our hospitals and destroy

02:59.150 --> 03:02.020
Medicare , while bringing million's and

03:02.020 --> 03:05.340
million's of people lured into our

03:05.340 --> 03:08.400
country . As long as I am president ,

03:08.410 --> 03:10.850
we will safeguard our borders and our

03:10.850 --> 03:13.370
seniors . We're pleased to be joined

03:13.370 --> 03:15.770
today by Secretary of Health and Human

03:15.770 --> 03:18.400
Service has done a great job , Alex as

03:18.400 --> 03:20.240
our Alex . Thanks .

03:20.250 --> 03:26.680
On

03:26.680 --> 03:29.400
very importantly , CMS Administrator

03:29.410 --> 03:31.470
Seema Verma . Thank you , Sam .

03:34.650 --> 03:37.080
Thank you . A great friend of mine and

03:37.080 --> 03:39.413
a great friend of health care , Frankly ,

03:39.413 --> 03:41.620
Senator Bill Cassidy , Bill

03:41.630 --> 03:44.270
E

03:44.280 --> 03:48.020
Representatives , Michael

03:48.020 --> 03:50.330
Burgess and Greg Murphy . So

03:50.330 --> 03:52.497
instrumental . Thank you . Thank you ,

03:52.497 --> 03:55.850
thank you . Thank you . On many , many

03:55.850 --> 03:58.072
state and local officials air here with

03:58.072 --> 04:00.260
us . Thank you very much . Since the

04:00.260 --> 04:02.670
plague arrived from China , we have

04:02.670 --> 04:04.559
seen our doctors , nurses , first

04:04.559 --> 04:06.892
responders , scientists and researchers .

04:06.892 --> 04:09.810
At their very best , we slash red tape

04:09.820 --> 04:12.260
to accelerate the development of life

04:12.260 --> 04:14.640
saving treatments , reducing the

04:14.640 --> 04:18.320
fatality rate by 85% since April .

04:18.330 --> 04:21.390
Incredible . Overall , Europe has seen ,

04:21.400 --> 04:24.280
and almost 50% greater excess mortality

04:24.280 --> 04:26.950
rate than that of the United States .

04:27.340 --> 04:29.062
And despite Europe's punishing

04:29.062 --> 04:31.330
lockdowns , they're now seeing a huge

04:31.330 --> 04:34.750
surge . Very sadly , in cases under

04:34.750 --> 04:36.300
operation warp speed , my

04:36.300 --> 04:38.630
administration is developing a vaccine

04:38.630 --> 04:41.260
in record time . It will be distributed

04:41.270 --> 04:43.326
before the end of the year and maybe

04:43.326 --> 04:45.870
quite a bit sooner than that . Four

04:45.870 --> 04:48.320
vaccines air . Now in the final stage

04:48.320 --> 04:50.700
of clinical trials , it's just about at

04:50.710 --> 04:52.877
the end of a lot of things are looking

04:52.877 --> 04:55.210
very good . It is the most ambitious

04:55.210 --> 04:57.266
vaccine program in U . S . History ,

04:57.266 --> 04:59.940
probably in any history . The vaccines

04:59.940 --> 05:02.730
are being mass produced in advance so

05:02.730 --> 05:04.952
they could be delivered within 24 hours

05:04.952 --> 05:07.770
of approval . The vaccine will be safe

05:07.780 --> 05:09.840
and it will be effective . It will

05:09.840 --> 05:12.190
defeat the virus and it will end the

05:12.190 --> 05:15.630
pandemic . The economy will surge to

05:15.640 --> 05:17.862
record highs . You see what's happening

05:17.862 --> 05:20.029
with the numbers that are coming out .

05:20.029 --> 05:23.250
Records all normal life will fully

05:23.250 --> 05:25.850
resumed . That will be great . And next

05:25.850 --> 05:28.017
year will be one of the greatest years

05:28.017 --> 05:30.239
in the history of our country , from an

05:30.239 --> 05:32.294
economic and hopefully in many other

05:32.294 --> 05:34.517
ways . When I was elected , I inherited

05:34.517 --> 05:37.390
a thing called Obama Care . Has anybody

05:37.390 --> 05:40.860
heard of Obamacare ? It was

05:40.860 --> 05:43.138
terrible . That's the way I feel , too .

05:43.440 --> 05:45.440
It was terrible and very , very

05:45.440 --> 05:47.440
expensive . Heard a lot of people .

05:47.440 --> 05:50.190
Premiums were too high . Deductibles

05:50.190 --> 05:53.020
were a disaster . Patients had no

05:53.020 --> 05:55.870
choice . You couldn't keep your doctor .

05:55.880 --> 05:58.560
But by far the worst part of Obamacare

05:58.560 --> 06:01.820
was this thing called the individual

06:01.820 --> 06:05.300
mandate . As part of our largest ever

06:05.310 --> 06:07.366
tax cut in the history of the United

06:07.366 --> 06:09.730
States , we put in a provision to kill

06:09.730 --> 06:11.897
this worst provisions of Obamacare the

06:11.897 --> 06:15.010
individual mandate . It was a disaster

06:15.010 --> 06:18.000
and it was really the essence of Obama

06:18.000 --> 06:20.440
care . It made you pay a tremendous

06:20.440 --> 06:22.662
amount of money in order to not have to

06:22.662 --> 06:25.070
pay for health insurance . Think of

06:25.070 --> 06:27.190
that . You had to pay a fortune in

06:27.190 --> 06:30.770
order not to have health insurance . It

06:30.770 --> 06:33.170
was really terrible and so unfair to so

06:33.170 --> 06:35.910
many destroyed families . We were able

06:35.910 --> 06:38.150
to terminate the individual mandate but

06:38.160 --> 06:40.327
kept the provision protecting patients

06:40.327 --> 06:42.990
with preexisting conditions that would

06:43.000 --> 06:45.940
not have been that particular law would

06:45.950 --> 06:47.839
never have been signed if it were

06:47.839 --> 06:49.839
otherwise . Obama care is no longer

06:49.839 --> 06:52.440
Obamacare as we worked on it and

06:52.440 --> 06:54.800
managed it very well . We stabilized .

06:54.800 --> 06:57.370
It got premiums down very substantially .

06:57.370 --> 06:59.426
That was Alex and that was Seema and

06:59.426 --> 07:01.690
you did a fantastic job . But it's

07:01.690 --> 07:03.801
still unacceptable to me because it's

07:03.801 --> 07:06.330
too expensive and doesn't really do the

07:06.330 --> 07:08.950
job as well as we could have . So what

07:08.950 --> 07:12.660
we have now is a much better plan .

07:13.290 --> 07:15.580
It is no longer obamacare because we've

07:15.590 --> 07:17.646
gotten rid of the worst part of it ,

07:17.646 --> 07:20.200
the individual mandate and made it much

07:20.210 --> 07:22.970
less expensive . A lot of that was

07:22.970 --> 07:26.310
through good management . We manage it

07:26.310 --> 07:28.560
properly . We have tremendous people

07:28.560 --> 07:32.020
working on it simultaneously . With all

07:32.020 --> 07:35.320
of this , we are joining in a lawsuit

07:35.320 --> 07:38.400
to end this ill conceived plan . I'm in

07:38.400 --> 07:42.080
court to terminate this really , really

07:42.090 --> 07:45.080
terrible situation . If we win , we

07:45.080 --> 07:47.191
will have a better and less expensive

07:47.191 --> 07:48.858
plan that will always protect

07:48.858 --> 07:51.191
individuals with preexisting conditions .

07:51.191 --> 07:53.413
If we lose , what we have now is better

07:53.413 --> 07:55.247
than the original . The original

07:55.247 --> 07:57.670
version off Obama care by far , much

07:57.670 --> 08:00.530
better , much better again . We will

08:00.530 --> 08:03.090
always protect patients with pre

08:03.090 --> 08:05.620
existing conditions . So today I'm

08:05.630 --> 08:08.180
laying out my vision for the future of

08:08.180 --> 08:10.580
American health care with the America

08:10.580 --> 08:14.000
First Health Care Plan . As we restore

08:14.000 --> 08:16.650
America to full strength , the first

08:16.660 --> 08:20.170
health care plan will be a core part

08:20.510 --> 08:23.140
of our national renewal . In a few

08:23.140 --> 08:25.084
moments , I will sign an executive

08:25.084 --> 08:27.307
order outlining the three pillars of my

08:27.307 --> 08:29.990
plan and directing my administration to

08:30.000 --> 08:33.160
implement these critical reforms . The

08:33.160 --> 08:37.000
first pillar of my plan is Mawr Choice

08:37.010 --> 08:40.700
Mawr , Choice for the American Patients

08:40.710 --> 08:47.380
theme .

08:47.390 --> 08:50.110
Last administration severely restricted

08:50.110 --> 08:52.166
consumer choice through the greatest

08:52.166 --> 08:54.660
healthcare lie ever told . If you like

08:54.660 --> 08:57.280
your plan , you can keep your plan . If

08:57.280 --> 08:59.280
you like your doctor , you can keep

08:59.280 --> 09:01.750
your doctor . You remember that 28

09:01.750 --> 09:04.028
times That was stated by our president ,

09:04.028 --> 09:06.470
but it turned out not to be true when I

09:06.470 --> 09:09.850
took office , more than 50% of counties

09:09.850 --> 09:12.360
nationwide offered plans from only a

09:12.360 --> 09:14.750
single insurance company on the

09:14.760 --> 09:17.590
individual market . Starting next month ,

09:17.590 --> 09:20.000
more than 90% of the counties will have

09:20.000 --> 09:22.222
multiple options to choose from , which

09:22.222 --> 09:23.778
is really some difference .

09:24.040 --> 09:30.990
Under

09:30.990 --> 09:33.120
our plan , you'll have the freedom to

09:33.120 --> 09:35.530
shop for the option that is right for

09:35.530 --> 09:37.750
you and your family . Thes options

09:37.750 --> 09:39.861
include new , affordable choices that

09:39.861 --> 09:42.940
cost up to 60% less than Obama care .

09:42.940 --> 09:45.870
Think of that 60% less . For example ,

09:45.870 --> 09:48.090
we're opening up short term plans that

09:48.090 --> 09:50.290
are much cheaper than Obama care and

09:50.290 --> 09:52.420
that can be customized to your

09:52.420 --> 09:55.060
individual needs . We're also offering

09:55.060 --> 09:57.060
association health plans that allow

09:57.060 --> 09:59.260
small businesses to pull together and

09:59.270 --> 10:01.437
offer more affordable policies for the

10:01.437 --> 10:03.326
employees . Thes air . Tremendous

10:03.326 --> 10:05.326
options that didn't exist before we

10:05.326 --> 10:07.970
came into office and through a massive

10:07.970 --> 10:09.990
expansion of health reimbursement

10:09.990 --> 10:12.700
arrangements , millions of Americans

10:12.700 --> 10:14.644
will be able to shop for a plan of

10:14.644 --> 10:16.820
their choice on the individual market

10:16.830 --> 10:19.180
and then have their employer cover the

10:19.180 --> 10:21.850
full cost . Furthermore , I'll work to

10:21.850 --> 10:24.050
make individual health care premiums

10:24.050 --> 10:26.161
fully tax deductible . That will be a

10:26.161 --> 10:27.161
big difference .

10:27.161 --> 10:36.210
Tharu

10:36.210 --> 10:38.266
These and other reforms were putting

10:38.266 --> 10:40.432
American patients back in charge , and

10:40.432 --> 10:42.654
we're putting them first . My plan will

10:42.654 --> 10:45.860
also revolutionize access to telehealth .

10:46.440 --> 10:48.496
It's something that really has taken

10:48.496 --> 10:51.160
off during the pandemic . Could take a

10:51.170 --> 10:51.720
rocket .

10:51.730 --> 10:56.100
It's

10:56.110 --> 10:59.550
increased close to 9000% .

11:00.140 --> 11:02.260
Nobody was using it . And when we had

11:02.270 --> 11:04.490
the pandemic , they started using it .

11:04.500 --> 11:06.556
Then they started really liking it .

11:06.556 --> 11:08.500
Then it started getting better and

11:08.500 --> 11:10.610
better . Bill . Now it's up to 90% .

11:10.610 --> 11:13.400
Who would think that ? One of the a few

11:13.400 --> 11:15.950
things that we got from this disaster

11:16.520 --> 11:19.380
that came from China when we rapidly

11:19.380 --> 11:21.800
expanded its availability for Medicare

11:21.800 --> 11:24.022
beneficiaries during the pandemic . The

11:24.022 --> 11:27.780
number of telehealth users increase

11:27.790 --> 11:31.210
so incredibly to 14,000 week it

11:31.220 --> 11:35.040
was 1.7 million . It was increasing at

11:35.040 --> 11:37.760
levels that nobody's ever seen before .

11:37.770 --> 11:39.992
Just about any kind of a program . This

11:39.992 --> 11:42.970
is the future of health care . We will

11:42.970 --> 11:45.160
ensure all Americans have the freedom

11:45.160 --> 11:47.382
to consult with doctors from the safety

11:47.382 --> 11:49.550
and convenience of their homes . The

11:49.550 --> 11:52.470
second pillar of my plan is lower costs

11:52.470 --> 11:54.560
for families and seniors lower

11:54.560 --> 11:59.460
cost .

11:59.470 --> 12:03.320
For years , patients have been shocked

12:03.320 --> 12:05.770
to receive unexpected bills for

12:05.770 --> 12:07.548
thousands of dollars in medical

12:07.548 --> 12:09.760
services . They never agreed . Thio ,

12:10.240 --> 12:12.740
the first America first health care

12:12.740 --> 12:15.850
plan bands this deeply unfair practice .

12:16.340 --> 12:18.830
We will end surprise medical billing .

12:18.840 --> 12:20.740
The days of ripping off American

12:20.740 --> 12:23.880
patients air over my plan also includes

12:23.880 --> 12:25.510
the vital reform of price .

12:25.520 --> 12:26.870
Transparency

12:27.540 --> 12:34.850
on

12:34.860 --> 12:37.560
transparency is great for the great

12:37.560 --> 12:39.727
doctors , the good Doctor's , and it's

12:39.727 --> 12:41.890
also great for the great and good

12:41.890 --> 12:43.946
hospitals . That's where it's really

12:43.946 --> 12:45.946
fantastic for them to in addition ,

12:45.946 --> 12:47.946
obviously to the patients . For the

12:47.946 --> 12:50.057
first time ever , we will create true

12:50.057 --> 12:51.946
competition in health care . Both

12:51.946 --> 12:54.112
hospitals and insurance companies will

12:54.112 --> 12:56.334
be required to post all of their prices

12:56.334 --> 12:59.250
online . This transformative policy

12:59.250 --> 13:01.472
will allow you to see your exact out of

13:01.472 --> 13:03.830
pocket costs before you go for

13:03.830 --> 13:07.010
treatment , making it easy to shop for

13:07.010 --> 13:09.790
the best price costs will come way down .

13:09.790 --> 13:11.780
Some people think this will have a

13:11.790 --> 13:14.000
bigger impact than healthcare itself .

13:14.010 --> 13:16.232
It's a tremendous thing no matter where

13:16.232 --> 13:18.454
it's been put . It's been an incredible

13:18.454 --> 13:21.890
service , and it Z worked miracles .

13:21.890 --> 13:24.850
It's been brilliant for patients next

13:24.850 --> 13:27.030
time taking on the lobbyists and the

13:27.030 --> 13:29.600
special interests to lower the price of

13:29.610 --> 13:31.780
prescription drugs . For years ,

13:31.780 --> 13:33.700
American patients have subsidized

13:33.710 --> 13:34.790
socialist nations

13:34.800 --> 13:40.270
on ,

13:40.270 --> 13:42.560
you know that way . Talk about it all

13:42.560 --> 13:45.110
the time . Congress . They come over .

13:45.110 --> 13:47.277
We've been talking about it for a long

13:47.277 --> 13:49.332
time . They've been talking about it

13:49.332 --> 13:49.140
for years . They know the problem . But

13:49.150 --> 13:51.580
we've been subsidizing socialist

13:51.580 --> 13:53.910
nations and others by paying the

13:53.910 --> 13:57.110
highest drug prices in the world by far .

13:57.120 --> 13:59.590
And yet with the largest purchaser of

13:59.600 --> 14:03.000
prescription drugs by far . And this is

14:03.000 --> 14:05.600
all wild countries got away with paying

14:05.610 --> 14:09.000
so much less so much less incredibly

14:09.000 --> 14:11.650
less . Under my plan , we will pay the

14:11.650 --> 14:14.250
exact same price as other countries .

14:14.250 --> 14:16.610
That's at the lowest level . So we will

14:16.610 --> 14:19.390
be matching the lowest price with

14:19.390 --> 14:22.180
what's now many times the highest price ,

14:22.840 --> 14:24.896
and we won't pay a penny more . What

14:24.896 --> 14:26.951
will happen is the lower prices will

14:26.951 --> 14:29.062
come up a little bit , but you'll get

14:29.062 --> 14:32.630
discounts of 40 50 60 80 90 who knows

14:32.640 --> 14:34.807
percent numbers that you wouldn't even

14:34.807 --> 14:37.900
believe , and we were the only ones in

14:37.910 --> 14:40.730
52 years to bring drug prices down .

14:41.100 --> 14:43.433
The last year they went down , you know .

14:46.980 --> 14:49.230
But that was before this . They went

14:49.230 --> 14:51.230
down just a little bit , but just a

14:51.230 --> 14:53.174
little bit was the only time in 52

14:53.174 --> 14:55.230
years . Now they're going to go down

14:55.230 --> 14:57.230
massively . Favorite nations . This

14:57.230 --> 14:59.370
will lead to Avery large savings for

14:59.380 --> 15:01.491
American families and plummeting drug

15:01.491 --> 15:04.080
prices . They will plummet the Obama

15:04.080 --> 15:06.480
Biden administration cave to Big Pharma

15:06.480 --> 15:08.680
and allowed drug prices to explode .

15:08.690 --> 15:10.523
Three . Only bad part about this

15:10.523 --> 15:12.746
transaction is that they're advertising

15:12.746 --> 15:14.912
like crazy . Make sure you don't elect

15:14.912 --> 15:17.240
Trump . And all it means is that your

15:17.240 --> 15:19.530
drug prices are coming down . So it z

15:19.530 --> 15:21.697
incredible . They have unlimited money

15:21.697 --> 15:23.863
for ads , but they're taking ads . And

15:23.863 --> 15:25.974
every time you see an ad , just think

15:25.974 --> 15:28.197
that your drug prices air coming down .

15:28.197 --> 15:30.363
I now understand why other politicians

15:30.363 --> 15:32.419
wouldn't do it because it was a very

15:32.419 --> 15:34.252
easy thing to do . But it took a

15:34.252 --> 15:36.419
certain amount of courage . I will say

15:36.419 --> 15:35.110
that

15:35.440 --> 15:42.680
eso

15:42.680 --> 15:44.847
it means that I'm taking on Big Pharma

15:44.847 --> 15:47.013
like never before . Nobody's done this

15:47.013 --> 15:48.902
before . They understood favorite

15:48.902 --> 15:50.958
nation's favorite nations is you get

15:50.958 --> 15:52.847
the best price is the lowest , no

15:52.847 --> 15:52.670
matter where it is anywhere in the

15:52.670 --> 15:55.360
world . So if Germany is paying 10

15:55.360 --> 15:57.610
cents for a bill and we're paying $2.5

15:57.610 --> 15:59.721
for the same exact bill from the same

15:59.721 --> 16:02.980
place . Same plant , same genius

16:02.980 --> 16:05.400
scientists , same everything . Same

16:05.400 --> 16:08.320
laboratory . Uh , we get the same

16:08.320 --> 16:10.640
prices they do . You're talking about

16:10.640 --> 16:14.340
numbers that air unthinkable . Favorite

16:14.340 --> 16:16.460
nations close . So it's really

16:16.460 --> 16:18.700
something , and they're attacking me

16:18.700 --> 16:21.310
viciously . We know that and they're

16:21.310 --> 16:23.310
attacking me . Really ? Because I'm

16:23.310 --> 16:25.421
fighting for you . But it's worth the

16:25.421 --> 16:27.366
fight is worth the fight . I think

16:27.366 --> 16:25.920
people ,

16:25.930 --> 16:35.180
I

16:35.190 --> 16:37.357
could say this . I think I don't think

16:37.357 --> 16:39.523
it's confidential . Our chief of staff

16:39.523 --> 16:41.900
is here . Mark Meadows , from a very

16:41.910 --> 16:45.790
great state known as North Carolina .

16:45.800 --> 16:49.410
Happens to come from North

16:49.410 --> 16:51.299
Carolina . That's good stuff . He

16:51.299 --> 16:53.299
wanted to be here for that reason ,

16:53.299 --> 16:55.354
probably more than even listening to

16:55.354 --> 16:57.577
this because you've heard it . But Mark

16:57.577 --> 16:59.410
will tell you that big farmer is

16:59.410 --> 17:01.743
calling and negotiating and negotiating .

17:01.743 --> 17:03.910
They want to make a deal , and there's

17:03.910 --> 17:06.890
a deal somewhere . But it Z something

17:06.890 --> 17:08.834
that's taking place right now , so

17:08.834 --> 17:11.057
they're negotiating . But this is where

17:11.057 --> 17:13.001
we are and the negotiating for one

17:13.001 --> 17:15.223
reason before that , they wouldn't even

17:15.223 --> 17:17.390
think about negotiating with any other

17:17.390 --> 17:19.334
administration . They would . They

17:19.334 --> 17:21.112
cannot believe this is actually

17:21.112 --> 17:23.334
happening . And if we can make a deal ,

17:23.334 --> 17:25.168
we will . But market negotiating

17:25.168 --> 17:27.480
literally as we speak , right ? So if

17:27.480 --> 17:29.591
he doesn't make a great deal of blame

17:29.591 --> 17:32.580
North Carolina Okay , so that's great .

17:32.580 --> 17:34.413
Now Mark is a real pro . It this

17:34.413 --> 17:36.636
understands that complicated business ,

17:36.636 --> 17:38.969
but he understands it very well . Today .

17:38.969 --> 17:41.090
My administration is taking action on

17:41.090 --> 17:43.350
every piece of the executive order I

17:43.350 --> 17:46.570
signed on prescription drug importation

17:47.110 --> 17:49.510
in July . The American people pay an

17:49.510 --> 17:51.490
average of over and listen to this

17:51.490 --> 17:54.310
three times mawr for medicine than

17:54.310 --> 17:57.200
Canadians . So you could be 2 ft away

17:57.200 --> 17:59.870
on each side of the border three times

17:59.870 --> 18:02.080
more . And that's the way it is .

18:02.350 --> 18:04.460
Canada is far more than many other

18:04.460 --> 18:07.680
countries . My plan will allow states ,

18:07.680 --> 18:09.540
wholesalers and pharmacies to do

18:09.540 --> 18:12.060
something career politicians have

18:12.060 --> 18:14.060
promised for decades because it was

18:14.060 --> 18:16.410
very simple . It's an idea , but never

18:16.410 --> 18:18.521
delivered . We will finally allow the

18:18.521 --> 18:20.310
safe and legal importation of

18:20.310 --> 18:23.110
prescription drugs from Canada , So

18:23.110 --> 18:24.060
this means

18:24.070 --> 18:29.000
thought

18:29.000 --> 18:31.000
this means a state or whatever . It

18:31.000 --> 18:33.390
could go to Canada and by your drugs

18:33.400 --> 18:35.410
for a fraction of the price that

18:35.420 --> 18:37.580
they're charging right now . Massive

18:37.590 --> 18:40.320
numbers of a tremendous numbers .

18:40.320 --> 18:42.542
Florida wants to do it . Colorado wants

18:42.542 --> 18:44.709
to do it . Many states want to do it ,

18:44.709 --> 18:46.876
and they will be doing it . But that's

18:46.876 --> 18:49.153
still higher than the favorite nations .

18:49.153 --> 18:51.264
So his favorite nations kicks . And I

18:51.264 --> 18:53.431
think that probably beats everybody no

18:53.431 --> 18:53.010
matter where you are , no matter where

18:53.010 --> 18:55.400
you're trying to buy , this will be a

18:55.400 --> 18:57.650
game changer for American seniors , and

18:57.650 --> 18:59.594
by allowing you to do this through

18:59.594 --> 19:01.594
Canada , we're doing it very , very

19:01.594 --> 19:03.770
quickly . So it goes very fast , and

19:03.770 --> 19:05.870
the new rule goes into effect as of

19:05.880 --> 19:07.991
today . Is that fast enough ? I think

19:07.991 --> 19:09.380
so . What do you think ,

19:11.340 --> 19:15.250
Congressman ? Theme America

19:15.250 --> 19:17.472
First Health Care Plan includes another

19:17.472 --> 19:19.472
historic provisioned to benefit our

19:19.472 --> 19:22.190
great seniors . Under my plan , 33

19:22.190 --> 19:24.270
million Medicare beneficiaries will

19:24.270 --> 19:26.740
soon receive a card in the mail

19:26.740 --> 19:30.230
containing $200 that they can use to

19:30.230 --> 19:32.220
help pay for prescription drugs .

19:32.220 --> 19:34.442
Nobody's seen this before . These cards

19:34.442 --> 19:36.387
are incredible . The cards will be

19:36.387 --> 19:38.740
mailed out in coming weeks . I will

19:38.740 --> 19:40.629
always take care of our wonderful

19:40.629 --> 19:43.090
senior citizens . Uh , Joe Biden won't

19:43.100 --> 19:44.100
be doing

19:44.100 --> 19:49.200
things

19:49.200 --> 19:51.033
is also partially because of the

19:51.033 --> 19:53.256
tremendous money that we're going to be

19:53.256 --> 19:55.410
saving with the favorite nations and

19:55.410 --> 19:57.577
various other things that we've done .

19:58.340 --> 20:00.507
We've approved more affordable generic

20:00.507 --> 20:02.340
drugs than any administration in

20:02.340 --> 20:05.610
history . I had no idea , but I had had

20:05.620 --> 20:07.953
many doctors who have great respect for ,

20:07.953 --> 20:10.120
by the way , come to me . And I said ,

20:10.120 --> 20:12.176
Well , what's the difference between

20:12.176 --> 20:14.120
this ? And this one is a very well

20:14.120 --> 20:16.287
known name . One is just the pill in a

20:16.287 --> 20:18.930
bottle with no tag on it . Then they

20:18.930 --> 20:21.190
said zero . I said , Let's be a little

20:21.190 --> 20:23.710
bit better Write the name zero And yet

20:23.720 --> 20:26.220
the name brand will cause five and even

20:26.220 --> 20:28.387
10 times more money than the generic .

20:28.387 --> 20:30.442
So we've approved more generic drugs

20:30.442 --> 20:32.553
than anybody at a rapid pace . Thio .

20:32.840 --> 20:35.560
We're also requiring that low income

20:35.560 --> 20:37.393
patients receive the benefits of

20:37.393 --> 20:40.520
government discounts on insolent and

20:40.530 --> 20:43.040
the EpiPen and that , you know , that

20:43.040 --> 20:46.590
is a big that is a big deal . That is a

20:46.590 --> 20:48.701
big deal . Insulin is one of the most

20:48.701 --> 20:49.868
common medicines for

20:49.868 --> 20:55.070
thistles ,

20:55.070 --> 20:57.950
something that Seema worked on so hard .

20:57.960 --> 21:01.340
Insulin prices soared under the last

21:01.340 --> 21:03.284
administration , like you wouldn't

21:03.284 --> 21:05.451
believe right Siemer . Under my plan ,

21:05.451 --> 21:07.340
hundreds of thousands of Medicare

21:07.340 --> 21:09.396
patients will see their insulin cost

21:09.396 --> 21:12.220
capped at just $35 a month . That's a

21:12.220 --> 21:15.560
66% cost reduction .

21:15.570 --> 21:19.870
This'll

21:19.870 --> 21:22.280
feature will be available available on

21:22.280 --> 21:25.910
over 1600 Medicare plans that

21:25.910 --> 21:27.743
seniors can begin signing up for

21:27.743 --> 21:30.000
starting October 1st and under certain

21:30.000 --> 21:32.930
circumstances . Seema It's literally

21:32.940 --> 21:36.740
almost free . This insulin , which they

21:36.740 --> 21:39.550
were just ripping you on , is close to

21:39.550 --> 21:42.460
being free , even lower than the $35 a

21:42.460 --> 21:44.700
month . So you did a fantastic job in

21:44.700 --> 21:46.089
that Thank you very much

21:46.089 --> 21:49.950
on

21:49.950 --> 21:52.006
Stephen would come to my officer . I

21:52.006 --> 21:54.117
have something so exciting she worked

21:54.117 --> 21:56.117
on that for a long time and getting

21:56.117 --> 21:58.339
that done . But it was . It is exciting

21:58.339 --> 22:00.450
if you need insulin . A lot of people

22:00.450 --> 22:00.210
were going without it . They just

22:00.210 --> 22:02.210
couldn't afford it . Now they could

22:02.210 --> 22:03.877
definitely afford it . Well ,

22:03.877 --> 22:05.877
accelerate our relentless effort to

22:05.877 --> 22:08.043
save seniors money on their premiums .

22:08.043 --> 22:09.877
Since I took office , we reduced

22:09.877 --> 22:12.560
Medicare Part D premiums by 12% .

22:12.940 --> 22:15.320
Medicare Advantage premiums are also

22:15.320 --> 22:18.830
down dramatically . A 44% reduction in

22:18.830 --> 22:21.590
North Carolina good ,

22:21.600 --> 22:25.970
43%

22:25.970 --> 22:28.720
lower in Pennsylvania and a

22:28.720 --> 22:32.310
54% lower price in Michigan . So that's

22:32.310 --> 22:34.532
something and we have them all over the

22:34.532 --> 22:37.860
country alot over the country . Their

22:37.870 --> 22:40.110
numbers , just like that will ensure

22:40.110 --> 22:42.332
that all seniors pay the same price for

22:42.332 --> 22:44.666
the same service , whether the hospital ,

22:44.666 --> 22:47.060
the surgery center or a doctor's office .

22:47.530 --> 22:49.780
This will save seniors billions and

22:49.790 --> 22:51.734
billions of dollars a year . We're

22:51.734 --> 22:53.860
talking about the billions , and it

22:53.860 --> 22:55.804
also saves our government a lot of

22:55.804 --> 22:57.693
money . But we'll save our senior

22:57.693 --> 22:59.804
citizens billions of dollars a year .

22:59.804 --> 23:02.040
Fantastic job . We're putting into

23:02.040 --> 23:04.440
place the largest package of saving for

23:04.440 --> 23:07.150
seniors , if any administration in

23:07.150 --> 23:10.120
history . No administration is even

23:10.120 --> 23:12.120
close to what we've done , and I've

23:12.120 --> 23:14.120
said it having to do much more than

23:14.120 --> 23:15.960
even health care . There's no

23:15.960 --> 23:18.480
administration in its 1st 3.5 years

23:18.480 --> 23:20.369
that's done anywhere close to the

23:20.369 --> 23:22.560
things we've done , And I never even

23:22.560 --> 23:24.671
get criticized for saying that . That

23:24.671 --> 23:26.393
must mean it's true . Write my

23:26.393 --> 23:28.338
congressman and my great senator .

23:28.338 --> 23:32.290
Under the Democrat plan ,

23:32.300 --> 23:34.522
costs will skyrocket . Our seniors will

23:34.522 --> 23:36.689
lose the benefits they paid into their

23:36.689 --> 23:38.800
entire . I mean , they've been paying

23:38.800 --> 23:40.689
for their entire lives tremendous

23:40.689 --> 23:42.744
amounts of money , all the finance ,

23:42.744 --> 23:44.970
socialism and open borders . I mean ,

23:44.970 --> 23:47.026
we're just helping other countries ,

23:47.026 --> 23:49.260
countries that aren't even friends of

23:49.260 --> 23:51.371
ours . But we help our friends and we

23:51.371 --> 23:54.310
help , uh , socialism all over the

23:54.310 --> 23:56.421
world . And we heard our people , and

23:56.421 --> 23:58.310
we're not doing that any longer .

23:58.840 --> 24:03.090
A

24:03.090 --> 24:06.860
za Long as I'm president , no one

24:06.870 --> 24:09.260
will lay a hand on your Medicare . Your

24:09.260 --> 24:11.482
Medicare is going to be safe , and it's

24:11.482 --> 24:12.482
gonna be solid .

24:12.482 --> 24:17.420
Thief .

24:17.430 --> 24:19.650
Final pillar of America First Health

24:19.650 --> 24:22.490
care plan is better care . That's

24:22.500 --> 24:24.780
better care for American patients .

24:24.790 --> 24:28.300
Theme historic action I'm taking today

24:28.300 --> 24:30.760
includes the first ever executive order

24:30.770 --> 24:33.660
toe affirm . It is the official policy

24:33.660 --> 24:35.604
of the United States government to

24:35.604 --> 24:37.630
protect patients with pre existing

24:37.630 --> 24:39.630
conditions . So we're making that .

24:39.630 --> 24:41.850
Officials were putting it down on the

24:41.850 --> 24:44.420
stand because our opponents , the

24:44.430 --> 24:46.430
Democrats , like to constantly talk

24:46.430 --> 24:48.208
about it . And yet pre existing

24:48.208 --> 24:50.374
conditions are much safer with us than

24:50.374 --> 24:52.750
they are with them . And now we have it

24:52.760 --> 24:55.130
affirmed . This is a firm signed and

24:55.130 --> 24:57.130
done , so we can put that to rest .

24:57.140 --> 24:58.973
He'll say it anyway because it's

24:58.973 --> 25:02.300
disinformation . This'd information .

25:03.530 --> 25:05.641
Same thing goes for Social Security .

25:05.641 --> 25:08.320
Remember during the last campaign four

25:08.320 --> 25:10.264
years ago , they kept saying I was

25:10.264 --> 25:12.600
gonna destroy Social Security I made

25:12.600 --> 25:14.950
Social Security stronger . Better they

25:14.950 --> 25:17.006
will be the ones that destroy Social

25:17.006 --> 25:18.894
Security because they're going to

25:18.894 --> 25:21.117
destroy our country . They will destroy

25:21.117 --> 25:23.172
our economy . So , Social Security ,

25:23.172 --> 25:25.006
Nothing happened . I keep saying

25:25.006 --> 25:27.172
whatever happened to Social Security ?

25:27.172 --> 25:29.283
Remember , he is going to immediately

25:29.283 --> 25:31.450
attack . No , just the opposite . Your

25:31.450 --> 25:33.561
Social Security is 100% with me , but

25:33.561 --> 25:36.320
it's not 100% with them . Any health

25:36.320 --> 25:38.670
care reform legislation that comes to

25:38.670 --> 25:40.840
my desk from Congress must protect the

25:40.840 --> 25:43.062
pre existing conditions or I won't sign

25:43.062 --> 25:45.229
it . And I made that pledge and I made

25:45.229 --> 25:47.229
that pledge last week . But now I'm

25:47.229 --> 25:49.451
making it in writing . We're putting it

25:49.451 --> 25:50.951
down and we have it signed

25:50.951 --> 25:56.570
way .

25:56.570 --> 25:58.940
The New Democrat lie is that they will

25:58.940 --> 26:01.240
cover preexisting conditions , but in

26:01.240 --> 26:03.073
truth , the Socialist takeover ,

26:03.073 --> 26:05.407
economic shutdowns that they talk about .

26:05.407 --> 26:07.600
If you look at this state , frankly ,

26:07.600 --> 26:09.620
where you have Democrat governors ,

26:09.620 --> 26:12.960
Democrat leaders , uh , those those

26:12.970 --> 26:16.100
states are in very , very bad shape

26:16.100 --> 26:17.990
with all of their shutdowns .

26:17.990 --> 26:19.879
Pennsylvania , you take a look at

26:19.879 --> 26:21.934
what's going on in Pennsylvania with

26:21.934 --> 26:24.157
the shutdown . We just want a big court

26:24.157 --> 26:26.323
case where a judge great federal judge

26:26.323 --> 26:28.323
ruled it unconstitutional what they

26:28.323 --> 26:30.212
were doing . The hurting people .

26:30.212 --> 26:32.323
There's damage on the other side of a

26:32.323 --> 26:34.379
shutdown . People don't realize with

26:34.379 --> 26:36.550
suicides and drug use and all of the

26:36.560 --> 26:39.140
alcohol . It's a terrible thing that

26:39.140 --> 26:41.410
happens . And , uh , Michigan's another

26:41.410 --> 26:43.521
state . The shutdown is very severe ,

26:43.521 --> 26:47.050
by the way , on November 4th , I'm sure

26:47.050 --> 26:49.050
everything will be opened . They'll

26:49.050 --> 26:51.700
announce on the evening of November 3rd

26:51.710 --> 26:55.660
that we're opening up . Unless

26:55.660 --> 26:57.882
these unsolicited ballots don't come in

26:57.882 --> 26:59.882
for weeks and weeks and weeks , you

26:59.882 --> 27:02.104
know they want them . Thio come in over

27:02.104 --> 27:04.327
a long period of time . It's gonna be a

27:04.327 --> 27:06.438
very interesting day . November 3rd ,

27:06.438 --> 27:08.660
it's gonna be a very interesting day in

27:08.660 --> 27:10.716
coverage for illegal immigrants will

27:10.716 --> 27:12.771
collapse . Our economy will collapse

27:12.771 --> 27:14.870
under their system and make your

27:14.880 --> 27:17.380
healthcare system totally insolvent .

27:17.390 --> 27:19.380
You know that as great doctors and

27:19.380 --> 27:21.380
people that do this , you know that

27:21.380 --> 27:23.213
what they're doing is socialized

27:23.213 --> 27:25.269
medicine , and it's not acceptable .

27:25.269 --> 27:27.491
It's going to be a disaster in terms of

27:27.491 --> 27:29.390
quality and cost . It'll ruin our

27:29.390 --> 27:32.180
country under their plan . You'll lose

27:32.180 --> 27:34.180
your doctor again and you will lose

27:34.180 --> 27:35.847
your coverage . You will lose

27:35.847 --> 27:38.069
everything having to do with what we're

27:38.069 --> 27:40.260
talking about on my watch . I will

27:40.270 --> 27:43.090
never let the radical left take away

27:43.090 --> 27:45.146
your healthcare . You'll always have

27:45.146 --> 27:45.040
healthcare

27:45.050 --> 27:50.730
theme .

27:50.740 --> 27:52.740
America First Health Care Plan will

27:52.740 --> 27:54.851
deliver another long awaited reform .

27:54.851 --> 27:57.100
We will put you in control of your own

27:57.110 --> 27:58.950
medical records . Will reap .

28:02.770 --> 28:05.450
Require doctors to make your records

28:05.450 --> 28:07.480
available electronically , and you

28:07.480 --> 28:09.647
alone them and you'll control them and

28:09.647 --> 28:11.647
they will be portable and you'll be

28:11.647 --> 28:13.647
able to work seamlessly with all of

28:13.647 --> 28:15.758
your medical providers that will make

28:15.758 --> 28:18.190
your life a lot easier , much , much

28:18.190 --> 28:20.980
easier . The previous administration ,

28:21.640 --> 28:25.070
led by Sleepy Joe Biden , spent

28:25.080 --> 28:27.790
$35 billion and failed to get it done .

28:27.800 --> 28:31.250
You know , the $35 billion where they

28:31.250 --> 28:33.630
failed . We are delivering to give

28:33.640 --> 28:37.020
critically ill patients access to life

28:37.020 --> 28:40.380
saving treatment . I also signed right

28:40.390 --> 28:42.557
to try . You know what right to try is

28:42.557 --> 28:46.270
I'm very Teoh . Right to try

28:46.280 --> 28:49.910
is so great . It's so great and what I

28:49.910 --> 28:51.799
think I'd like to do . I'll do it

28:51.799 --> 28:53.966
really quickly . I'm gonna run through

28:53.966 --> 28:56.810
just a quick list of accomplishments

28:56.810 --> 28:59.240
that we've done . And , you know ,

28:59.240 --> 29:02.060
we've really become the health care

29:02.440 --> 29:04.720
party , the Republican Party , and

29:04.720 --> 29:07.800
nobody knows that news doesn't talk

29:07.800 --> 29:11.030
about it , but I'm going to just say

29:11.030 --> 29:13.086
I'm It's a list of things that we've

29:13.086 --> 29:16.080
done and it'll go quickly . But I just

29:16.080 --> 29:18.247
thought I'd take it out and said , You

29:18.247 --> 29:20.247
know , I'd like to read that to the

29:20.247 --> 29:22.247
audience of professionals today and

29:22.247 --> 29:24.680
this is just a partial list we repealed .

29:25.140 --> 29:27.700
The individual mandate eliminated .

29:27.700 --> 29:29.980
Obama cares , health insurance ,

29:29.990 --> 29:32.550
medical device and the Cadillac tax is

29:32.550 --> 29:36.520
That's a big deal . People forget all

29:36.520 --> 29:38.940
of this eyes . I wonder who did that ?

29:38.950 --> 29:41.810
Could it have been Joe Biden ? He

29:41.810 --> 29:45.100
doesn't know what it ISS expanded

29:45.110 --> 29:48.420
association health plans , increased

29:48.420 --> 29:50.560
availability of short term limited

29:50.560 --> 29:51.870
duration plans ,

29:52.840 --> 29:56.110
expanded health

29:56.120 --> 29:58.450
reimbursement arrangements , big deal

29:58.940 --> 30:01.870
lowered prescription drug prices and

30:01.870 --> 30:03.981
you will see them at a level that you

30:03.981 --> 30:05.926
will never . You'll never see this

30:05.926 --> 30:07.920
again . They will go down so low .

30:07.930 --> 30:10.970
Ondas I said . We had the

30:10.970 --> 30:13.660
largest annual decrease . We had the

30:13.660 --> 30:16.310
only decrease over a 52 year period .

30:16.320 --> 30:18.470
More generic prescriptions approved

30:18.480 --> 30:20.591
savings . Americans saving America an

30:20.591 --> 30:23.990
estimated $2.6 billion in the 1st 18

30:23.990 --> 30:26.560
months of the administration alone . So

30:26.560 --> 30:29.170
in 18 months we saved 2.6 billion with

30:29.340 --> 30:32.640
generic drugs signed for executive

30:32.640 --> 30:34.529
orders to lower prescription drug

30:34.529 --> 30:37.390
prices . Signed legislation banning

30:37.390 --> 30:39.760
pharmacy gag clauses . Does that make

30:39.760 --> 30:43.370
sense ? Thio mean

30:43.370 --> 30:46.060
what people were under what even the

30:46.060 --> 30:48.470
pharmacists who had to do ? Was it made

30:48.470 --> 30:50.526
them ? It was embarrassing to them .

30:50.940 --> 30:53.150
Took executive action to ensure price

30:53.150 --> 30:55.150
transparency and health care . That

30:55.150 --> 30:57.372
will be one of the biggest things , and

30:57.372 --> 30:59.650
most people have no idea what it means ,

30:59.650 --> 31:02.800
I said . Some people said that's bigger

31:02.800 --> 31:04.911
than health care . Required hospitals

31:04.911 --> 31:07.244
to post standard prices on the Internet .

31:07.340 --> 31:09.507
Modernized and strengthened . Medicare

31:09.507 --> 31:11.618
with more options , more benefits and

31:11.618 --> 31:14.510
lower premiums Substantially improved

31:14.520 --> 31:16.742
kidney care . Such a big deal with more

31:16.742 --> 31:18.687
transplants and better treatment .

31:18.687 --> 31:20.909
Kidney care is so tough for people with

31:20.909 --> 31:21.909
problems

31:21.909 --> 31:25.280
very

31:25.280 --> 31:27.224
substantially . Lower The price of

31:27.224 --> 31:29.280
insulin . As we said for our seniors

31:29.440 --> 31:32.200
invested in advances in generic therapy

31:32.200 --> 31:36.050
for sickle cell disease . Big thing .

31:36.350 --> 31:39.410
Big Big Big Thing Launched a

31:39.410 --> 31:42.260
$500 million initiative to find cures

31:42.260 --> 31:45.090
for childhood cancers . $500 million

31:48.080 --> 31:51.860
combated drug demand . We , uh , really

31:51.860 --> 31:54.530
went very , very strong on drug demand

31:54.530 --> 31:56.980
and the opioid crisis with expanded

31:56.980 --> 31:59.440
access to medication , assisted

31:59.440 --> 32:02.560
treatment and lifesaving naloxone on

32:02.570 --> 32:03.680
now lacks strong

32:03.690 --> 32:06.730
opioids

32:06.740 --> 32:09.590
prescribed decrease by over

32:09.600 --> 32:12.920
35% . So if you look at the the

32:12.920 --> 32:16.710
opioid obviously horror show , it

32:16.710 --> 32:19.800
decreased by over 35% since January of

32:19.800 --> 32:22.110
2017 . We've worked very , very hard on

32:22.110 --> 32:26.060
that . Launched fine treatment dot

32:26.070 --> 32:28.550
gov to connect those with substance

32:28.550 --> 32:30.661
abuse disorder to treatment . We have

32:30.661 --> 32:32.490
an incredible situations . Find

32:32.490 --> 32:36.080
treatment dot gov passed right to try

32:36.080 --> 32:38.350
to give critically ill patients access

32:38.350 --> 32:41.180
to life saving cures where it hasn't

32:41.180 --> 32:43.170
been approved yet by the FDA .

32:43.940 --> 32:47.500
Incredible on , by the way , many of

32:47.500 --> 32:49.667
you know what that has meant . We have

32:49.667 --> 32:52.450
had some examples of success that , on

32:52.450 --> 32:54.450
right to try that have been amazing

32:54.520 --> 32:58.170
launched an initiative to end AIDS HIV

32:58.180 --> 33:00.900
AIDS in America . We think in six years

33:00.900 --> 33:03.720
it will be largely eradicated . Who

33:03.720 --> 33:05.942
would have ever thought this could have

33:05.942 --> 33:08.109
started two years before I got there ,

33:08.109 --> 33:10.164
but they chose not to do it , but we

33:10.164 --> 33:10.030
have , and we've launched the

33:10.030 --> 33:12.340
initiative . It's into its almost

33:12.340 --> 33:15.380
fourth year , and at the time we did ,

33:15.380 --> 33:17.491
it was gonna be 10 years . At the end

33:17.491 --> 33:19.324
of 10 years now , six years were

33:19.324 --> 33:21.436
already down to six . It will largely

33:21.436 --> 33:25.050
eradicate AIDS HIV AIDS in America .

33:25.050 --> 33:26.883
Who would have thought that it's

33:26.883 --> 33:28.994
incredible . When I first heard about

33:28.994 --> 33:32.160
it , when I first heard about it , I

33:32.160 --> 33:34.271
said , Why wouldn't they have started

33:34.271 --> 33:36.271
it early ? But they didn't expanded

33:36.271 --> 33:38.480
access to telehealth , especially in

33:38.480 --> 33:40.560
rural and underserved areas .

33:40.560 --> 33:43.770
Telehealth signed historic va choice

33:43.780 --> 33:45.810
legislation . That's a big deal .

33:45.820 --> 33:48.580
That's a big deal .

33:48.590 --> 33:52.530
It's really It's the rial choice , not

33:52.540 --> 33:54.707
the week choice . The very , very weak

33:54.707 --> 33:56.762
choice . That didn't mean anything ,

33:56.762 --> 33:58.818
but it's been a tremendous success .

33:58.818 --> 34:01.780
And we just got a 91% approval rating

34:01.780 --> 34:03.947
from our vets , the highest we've ever

34:03.947 --> 34:05.680
had by by a lot . Hi

34:05.690 --> 34:10.170
way

34:10.170 --> 34:12.281
also . Well , we're at it . We signed

34:12.281 --> 34:14.226
accountability of accountability .

34:14.226 --> 34:16.559
That's where people don't love our vets .

34:16.559 --> 34:18.670
If they don't take care of our vets ,

34:18.670 --> 34:20.892
you couldn't do anything about it . You

34:20.892 --> 34:23.003
have . They have to live in hell with

34:23.003 --> 34:25.059
these vets with the people that were

34:25.059 --> 34:27.710
supposed to be taking care of . And we

34:27.710 --> 34:29.932
have a thing called va accountability .

34:29.932 --> 34:32.043
They're accountable now if they don't

34:32.043 --> 34:34.610
treat our vets great , if they don't

34:34.610 --> 34:36.721
take care of our vets , if they don't

34:36.721 --> 34:38.890
love our vets , our country , we can

34:38.890 --> 34:41.112
fire them . We could say you're fired .

34:41.140 --> 34:42.820
Wear

34:42.820 --> 34:47.540
a

34:47.550 --> 34:49.410
big thing . So v a choice Va

34:49.410 --> 34:51.632
Accountability took executive action to

34:51.632 --> 34:54.070
prevent veteran suicide . Had launched

34:54.070 --> 34:57.330
the 24 hour veteran hotline for suicide

34:57.340 --> 35:00.760
on It's Really Working

35:00.760 --> 35:03.690
on signed the largest ever increase in

35:03.690 --> 35:06.050
child care development . Block grants .

35:06.340 --> 35:10.040
Those are just Those were just some of

35:10.050 --> 35:12.510
the Those are some of the things that

35:12.520 --> 35:14.770
we've done . We've done actually a lot

35:14.780 --> 35:16.780
more than that , but we have to get

35:16.780 --> 35:18.891
back to business here , right ? Those

35:18.891 --> 35:20.891
are things that we've done on DNA .

35:20.891 --> 35:23.058
Nobody has any idea when you look at a

35:23.058 --> 35:25.310
list like that , Um , Democrats have

35:25.310 --> 35:27.680
never done anything like that . Under

35:27.680 --> 35:29.930
the Democrat Socialist agenda and

35:29.930 --> 35:31.640
avalanche of regulation would

35:31.640 --> 35:33.862
extinguish the flame of excellence that

35:33.862 --> 35:36.480
makes America the center of scientific

35:36.480 --> 35:38.536
discovery , groundbreaking treatment

35:38.910 --> 35:41.710
and life saving cures in our all out

35:41.710 --> 35:43.766
war against the virus . We've lifted

35:43.766 --> 35:45.710
bureaucratic barriers and Marshall

35:45.710 --> 35:47.821
America's scientific , industrial and

35:47.821 --> 35:49.932
technical brilliance , and we do have

35:49.932 --> 35:52.099
total brilliant . Some of it's in this

35:52.099 --> 35:51.840
room , by the way , because you don't

35:51.840 --> 35:54.730
know I will apply . It really is some

35:54.730 --> 35:57.530
of the people , right , Bill , some

35:57.530 --> 35:59.641
incredible people in this room . I'll

35:59.641 --> 36:01.590
apply the same determination to

36:01.590 --> 36:04.250
accelerate medical breakthroughs in all

36:04.250 --> 36:06.410
areas , including for Alzheimer's

36:06.410 --> 36:09.080
diabetes , generic treatments for

36:09.080 --> 36:11.850
sickle cell disease , early detection

36:11.850 --> 36:13.800
of cancer and much , much more .

36:13.810 --> 36:16.430
Already to improve care for Americans

36:16.430 --> 36:18.208
with kidney disease . We enable

36:18.208 --> 36:20.540
patients to receive at home dialysis ,

36:21.030 --> 36:23.280
and we're investing in the creation of

36:23.410 --> 36:25.466
an artificial kidney . We're getting

36:25.466 --> 36:27.632
very close , and we introduce critical

36:27.632 --> 36:29.540
incentives to make more kidneys

36:29.540 --> 36:31.850
available for transplant to change that

36:31.850 --> 36:34.540
will save tens of thousands of lives .

36:34.540 --> 36:36.540
What people have to go through with

36:36.540 --> 36:38.540
kidney disease is incredible . It's

36:38.540 --> 36:41.280
incredible . They work so hard , I said ,

36:41.280 --> 36:43.570
How do they do ? They could live a long

36:43.570 --> 36:45.681
life , but it's so much work to do it

36:46.010 --> 36:48.177
that they literally one doctor told me

36:48.177 --> 36:51.130
that they die of hard work . It's such

36:51.140 --> 36:54.440
a job to go , I guess . Dialysis ,

36:54.440 --> 36:56.496
etcetera . It's such a hard job that

36:56.496 --> 36:59.170
they die off literally . They die of

36:59.180 --> 37:03.080
just hard work . It z incredible what

37:03.080 --> 37:05.302
we've done there and what we're doing ,

37:05.302 --> 37:07.620
and especially with some of the

37:07.620 --> 37:09.787
research that's been done , what we're

37:09.787 --> 37:11.842
coming up with , you'll be seeing it

37:11.842 --> 37:13.953
very soon . I believe as we invest in

37:13.953 --> 37:16.120
the future , we will permanently bring

37:16.120 --> 37:18.120
our medical supply chains back home

37:18.530 --> 37:27.000
Way

37:27.000 --> 37:29.120
will produce our medical supplies ,

37:29.120 --> 37:31.176
pharmaceuticals and treatments right

37:31.176 --> 37:33.342
here in the United States . Right here

37:33.342 --> 37:35.564
in North Carolina . We're gonna bring a

37:35.564 --> 37:37.731
lot of business to . If you remember ,

37:37.731 --> 37:39.787
Puerto Rico used to do it , and then

37:39.787 --> 37:41.676
they brought tax legislation that

37:41.680 --> 37:43.791
destroyed that whole thing . They all

37:43.791 --> 37:45.736
left , but they were very happy in

37:45.736 --> 37:47.958
Puerto Rico . We're gonna bring it back

37:47.958 --> 37:50.069
to Puerto Rico and many of our states

37:50.069 --> 37:51.958
that will be doing it . And North

37:51.958 --> 37:54.013
Carolina , I see , is on the list as

37:54.013 --> 37:56.236
being a very tough one . So we're gonna

37:56.236 --> 37:55.910
bring it back to North Carolina in the

37:55.910 --> 37:56.460
country

37:56.930 --> 38:01.180
on

38:01.180 --> 38:03.170
will reverse the disastrous and

38:03.170 --> 38:05.720
heartless decision Joe Biden made in

38:05.720 --> 38:08.520
1996 to shut down the pharmaceutical

38:08.520 --> 38:10.950
industry . And Puerto Rico took place

38:10.950 --> 38:14.030
in 1996 . Biden shut down the whole

38:14.620 --> 38:17.730
Puerto Rico industry . This was a very

38:17.740 --> 38:19.629
good industry . They were doing a

38:19.629 --> 38:21.851
fantastic job , and one day it was just

38:21.851 --> 38:23.851
literally gone . Biden shut it down

38:23.851 --> 38:25.907
with what he did with taxes , and it

38:25.907 --> 38:28.030
was it was a disgrace . But we will

38:28.030 --> 38:29.030
bring it back .

38:29.520 --> 38:33.270
Under our

38:33.270 --> 38:35.270
leadership , American medicine will

38:35.270 --> 38:37.214
make the biggest breakthroughs the

38:37.214 --> 38:39.103
largest leaps , the most exciting

38:39.103 --> 38:40.970
strides and the most outstanding

38:40.980 --> 38:43.450
discoveries . Before signed a historic

38:43.450 --> 38:45.339
executive order implementing this

38:45.339 --> 38:47.506
ambitious agenda . Let me introduce to

38:47.506 --> 38:49.450
Americans great Americans who will

38:49.450 --> 38:53.030
benefit from our policies . Julia

38:53.040 --> 38:56.300
Straw Topless was born in Freeman

38:56.300 --> 38:59.230
Sheldon syndrome with with the Freeman

38:59.230 --> 39:01.660
Sheldon Syndrome , which is tough , an

39:01.660 --> 39:04.450
extremely rare muscle and bone disorder .

39:04.520 --> 39:06.520
Under the previous administration ,

39:06.520 --> 39:08.840
Julia's family saw their premiums on

39:09.420 --> 39:11.840
the individual market skyrocket to

39:11.850 --> 39:15.790
$3000 a month and more . Her parents

39:15.790 --> 39:18.012
had to go without health insurance just

39:18.012 --> 39:20.234
to afford coverage for their Children .

39:20.234 --> 39:22.290
Since I was elected their families ,

39:22.290 --> 39:24.512
premiums have been slashed by more than

39:24.512 --> 39:26.450
40% and we're going down further

39:27.020 --> 39:31.020
on .

39:31.020 --> 39:33.020
Everyone is now covered , and Julia

39:33.020 --> 39:35.270
always has access to the doctor . She

39:35.270 --> 39:37.870
needs Julia . We are with you . I don't

39:37.870 --> 39:39.981
know where you are . Julia , Where is

39:39.981 --> 39:42.770
Julia ? Wow . Thank you .

39:46.500 --> 39:49.160
You look great , Julia . Thank you .

39:49.170 --> 39:51.880
That's great . Thank you , Julia . It's

39:51.880 --> 39:53.936
a great story , but were inspired by

39:53.936 --> 39:55.991
your courage . Thank you very much .

39:55.991 --> 39:58.030
Also with us is Sharon Leader , a

39:58.030 --> 40:00.540
financial planner from nearby Concord .

40:01.310 --> 40:03.740
After spending less than 24 hours in

40:03.740 --> 40:05.851
the hospital in receiving a few basic

40:05.851 --> 40:08.260
tests . She received surprise bills

40:08.260 --> 40:11.940
that added up to $4000 . That's a lot

40:11.940 --> 40:14.051
of money . Despite having insurance .

40:14.051 --> 40:16.780
Sharon . Those days will soon be over

40:16.780 --> 40:18.836
because we'll end surprise . Medical

40:18.836 --> 40:21.430
building once and for all were a share .

40:22.710 --> 40:23.550
I'm sure

40:23.560 --> 40:28.760
it

40:28.770 --> 40:31.180
that's why they call it surprised

40:31.190 --> 40:33.190
building . She got home and she was

40:33.190 --> 40:35.357
surprised they sent you the bill . You

40:35.357 --> 40:37.579
opened it up . You thought it was gonna

40:37.579 --> 40:39.634
be $25 and it was a little more than

40:39.634 --> 40:41.690
that , right ? That's great . Well ,

40:41.690 --> 40:41.250
we're taking care of it . Thank you

40:41.250 --> 40:44.430
very much . Here . We're standing up or

40:45.210 --> 40:47.710
our people were standing up to special

40:47.710 --> 40:50.070
interest we're taking on . The powerful

40:50.070 --> 40:52.140
lobbyists were stopping the radical

40:52.140 --> 40:54.380
Socialists and Communists . To be

40:54.380 --> 40:56.547
honest with you , I think we've got us

40:56.547 --> 40:58.658
a little bit above socialism or below

40:58.658 --> 41:00.713
it if you want to call it that way .

41:00.713 --> 41:02.440
But we are standing up to both

41:02.450 --> 41:04.620
whichever one you want to choose . And

41:04.620 --> 41:06.509
we're fighting for the incredible

41:06.509 --> 41:08.860
people of North Carolina . Incredible

41:08.860 --> 41:11.070
people , people I love . I love the

41:11.080 --> 41:13.080
people we named . As you know , my

41:13.080 --> 41:15.360
grandchild is named Carolina , uh ,

41:15.380 --> 41:19.700
beautiful

41:19.700 --> 41:21.860
Carolina , my most beautiful

41:21.870 --> 41:25.850
child , But We're providing better

41:25.850 --> 41:29.130
care and more choice at a lower cost ,

41:29.130 --> 41:31.280
substantially lower cost . We're

41:31.280 --> 41:33.113
delivering a healthier , safer ,

41:33.113 --> 41:35.336
brighter and more prosperous future for

41:35.336 --> 41:37.558
every citizen in our magnificent land .

41:37.558 --> 41:40.300
Because we are proudly putting America

41:40.300 --> 41:42.522
first . That hasn't happened for a long

41:42.522 --> 41:42.520
time .

41:49.250 --> 41:51.950
On behalf of all Americans , I will now

41:51.950 --> 41:54.440
sign the executive order . I want to

41:54.440 --> 41:56.440
thank you all for being here . God

41:56.440 --> 41:58.607
bless you . God bless North Carolina .

41:58.607 --> 42:00.880
And God bless America . Thank you .

42:00.890 --> 42:12.740
Thank

42:12.750 --> 42:15.310
you . Yeah , Yeah .

42:16.700 --> 42:19.830
Okay . That's a lot of work . Mhm .

42:21.220 --> 42:24.770
That's good . Hi ,

42:24.770 --> 42:25.740
Julia . That's

42:30.870 --> 42:34.330
ridiculous . I think everything . Yeah ,

42:35.300 --> 42:36.467
Bank of the person .

42:40.600 --> 42:43.440
Is that a big one ? Mhm .
