Letter to the editor: Be grateful for the Inflation Reduction Act

Per the article "Climate, health care, deficit reduction top Biden’s big bill" (Canton Repository, Aug. 14): "The biggest investment ever in the U.S. to fight climate change. A hard-fought cap on out-of-pocket prescription drug costs for Medicare recipients. A new corporate minimum tax to ensure big businesses pay their share. And billions left over to pay down the federal deficit."

My husband was on so much medication, and I know how much it cost me every time I had to get his refills, even though I had the best medical coverage possible for him. Thank you, President Biden, for getting help to the many patients who face such high costs for their needed prescriptions.

How can anyone not realize that there are severe climate changes around the world? Thank you, President Biden, for putting plans into place to address these severities that so many face.

It's time that the large corporations start paying their fair share of taxes instead of enjoying their many tax loopholes. Thank you, President Biden, for finally dealing with these inequalities.

Finally, a plan to reduce our federal deficit. It's about time these high debts be reduced. Thank you, President Biden, for not being afraid to stand up for what so many of us believe in and need.
