US President Joe Biden has signed his major reform package and this means that the law comes into force.
The Democrats’ big package around investments in healthcare, energy and climate was hammered out by Congress a few days ago.
The law means, among other things, that over 370 billion dollars are invested in climate and energy programs.
In addition, high-cost coverage for prescription medicine is improved, and support for residents to pay for health insurance is to increase.
The investments are financed through minimum taxes for large companies and tax on companies that buy back their own shares.
