WASHINGTON _ The Democratic-run House plans to vote on ways to lower prescription drug prices and force insurers to provide stronger protection for people with preexisting conditions, marking the next big step in a strategy to make health care part of its 2020 election fight.
Democrats wrapped up their first 100 days in charge of the House this week, and they've been sending the same message over and over: We care deeply about more affordable, accessible health care.
"This is about a value system in our country," House Speaker Nancy Pelosi of California said of the Democrats' health care push, "about understanding that health care is a right for all Americans, not just a privilege."
