President Biden's health care legacy is a fragile one that could be undone by future administrations, congresses, or court decisions, and is overshadowed by rising medical costs. Biden's presidency was shaped by significant health decisions, including expanding health coverage and COVID-19 response.
Biden put lowering prescription drug costs for seniors and expanding coverage to a record number of Americans among his top accomplishments. His biggest health accomplishment may have been expanding health coverage and approaching the goal of universal health coverage.
Following campaign pledges, Biden enhanced marketplace coverage subsidies, driving record sign-ups, and reducing the national uninsured rate. However, these subsidies may not be renewed after next year if Republicans win the elections, leading to an increase in the uninsured population.
