Is this the kind of bipartisanship to which you refer?

The “Affordable” Care Act and the Inflation “Reduction” Act are arguably two of the most expensive and consequential (for better or worse) legislative packages of the past 20 years. The ACA passed the Senate with 60 Democrat votes during the brief period when they had a super majority. The IRA was passed via reconciliation with 50 Democrat votes and Democrat VP Kamala Harris breaking the tie.

Neither bill got a single vote from a Republican Senator.
