What’s actually in Biden’s Build Back Better bill? And how would it affect you?

Most Americans know the price tag but don't know what's actually in the bill. Here's a crash course

In much of the press coverage of the fight over Joe Biden's Build Back Better bill, politicians, pundits and media talking heads often focus on its $3.5tn price tag. But all the attention to the top-line figure ignores the huge implications of what is actually in the legislation - and how it could transform millions of Americans' lives.

That seems to be doing the public a great disservice. A CBS poll found that only 10% of Americans knew a lot of the specifics" about the Build Back Better plan (also known as the budget reconciliation bill), and 29% did not know what was in it at all.
