Secretary Pete Buttigieg said Americans who support expanded health care access, stronger public schools and infrastructure investments represent a broad coalition rather than a political minority.\nOn Saturday, Buttigieg posted on X while sharing a clip of his speech, writing, \"You are not alone if you believe that every American should have access to affordable health care, good roads, and great public schools. \nHe added, \"You are in fact part of a powerful American majority.\"\nIn the video, Buttigieg said voters in politically competitive or Republican-leaning areas can sometimes feel that their views are unpopular.\nIn a clip, Buttigieg said, \"When you live in one of these kind of purple or some would say reddish areas, sometimes the world has a way of making you think that you’re part of some tiny minority.\"\nHe argued that support for expanding health care access, investing in education and improving infrastructure extends across the country.\n\"Turns out that if you think health care ought to be available to every single American, you’re part of a majority, not a minority, to believe that,\" he said.\nButtigieg also said Americans support stronger public schools and questioned why a wealthy nation cannot provide better-funded education, rural hospitals and reliable roads.\nHe added that many people agree with his argument that wealthy Americans should pay more in taxes to support public services.\n\"It turns out most people agree with you,\" Buttigieg said. \nHe added, \"So don’t let anybody make you feel like you’re alone.\"\nEarlier, the Trump administration proposed a rule to prevent hospitals from marking up discounted Medicare drugs, saying it could save consumers an estimated $1.1 billion next year. \nThe plan would change payments under the 340B drug program to better reflect hospitals’ actual costs.\nBillionaire entrepreneur Mark Cuban backed efforts to reduce health care expenses but warned insurers and hospitals could weaken reforms without greater pricing transparency. \nHe called for public disclosure of contracts and stricter penalties for companies that avoid cost-cutting measures.\nMeanwhile, The Kobeissi Letter warned that rising insurance costs continued to strain employers and workers, citing projections that health benefit costs per employee could rise 6.7% in 2026 to at least $18,500.\nDisclaimer: This content was partially produced with the help of AI tools and was reviewed and published by Benzinga editors.\nPhoto courtesy: Rich Koele on Shutterstock.com\nTo add Benzinga
