When looking at the competing priorities related to health-care reform between Donald Trump and Joe Biden, what is most striking is the degree of overlap. Both want to address surprise billing. Both want to allow drug reimportation. Both are considering an international reference price scheme. Both seek to reduce individuals’ out-of-pocket expenses.
