The White House is confident the public will come to appreciate the Inflation Reduction Act as it did with Obamacare as President Joe Biden dispatches John Podesta and Neera Tanden, aides to former Presidents Bill Clinton and Barack Obama, to promote the measure.

"I have some experience of working on the Affordable Care Act," Tanden, the White House Domestic Policy Council director, told reporters Wednesday. "It took people a little bit of time, but when people really focused on that act in 2017, 2018, people recognized the true benefit and really rose up to defend the law."

"My expectation is that as we implement these provisions, as people see in their pocketbooks that they are paying less for prescription drugs for the first time because of the Inflation Reduction Act, they'll make the connection," she said.

Tanden, a former top adviser to 2016 Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton, also downplayed the likelihood that the Inflation Reduction Act will be rebranded after Biden told donors this month he had misgivings regarding the name.

"The law itself is delivering benefits, and in just a few weeks, we will have HHS announce the first 10 drugs that will be negotiated," Tanden said. "In the legislation itself, there is a framework for lowering drug costs, some this year, some next year, and for years to come."

"We have always known that the benefits will be delivered over time, but people are experiencing these benefits now," she added. "My focus is ensuring that people understand that they will have lower drug costs because of the Inflation Reduction Act, that those drug costs will be a real difference in their bottom lines."

Tanden additionally cited the $35 cap on the cost of insulin, as well as free shingles and tetanus vaccines for seniors, as she underscored the Inflation Reduction Act's broader popularity.

"The Inflation Reduction Act — I wish I hadn't called it that because it has less to do with reducing inflation than it does to do with dealing with providing for alternatives that generate economic growth," he said in Park City, Utah. "We're now in a situation where if you take a look at what we're doing in the Inflation Reduction Act, we're literally reducing the cost of people being able to make their, meet their basic needs."
