Co-host Brianna Keilar said, “How’s the shot today? Americans need it now.”
Jean-Pierre replied, “So these premiums for the ACA, that’s 800 – about – an average of about $800 a month for Americans, that’s going to continue. Last year we all fought for it. And so, you will have. When you think about the energy costs and electricity bills due to the investments we’ve made, they’ll feel it right away.”
After Jean-Pierre reiterated that people would “immediately” feel the impact on energy costs, Keilar said, “When?” she asked.

Keilar, “When it comes to reducing prescription drugs?” she asked.
Jean-Pierre replied: “Correct. Because that’s what Medicare has to accept. So it’s a process and it’s going to happen…”.
