Biden pitches expansive healthcare plan without Republican support

Without Republican support for his expansive plan to support childcare and education through increased taxes, Joe Biden is appealing directly to Americans with a series of stops across the US, in what could be one of the largest boosts to federal safety nets in decades.

“No one should have to choose between a job and a paycheck or taking care of themselves, a parent, a spouse, or a child that’s ill,” Biden said.

The president visited a series of Virginia schools on Monday, before speaking at Tidewater Community College to renew his pitch for the $1.8 trillion American Families Plan.
