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

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

64% : Biden's bill also includes tax credits and grants for businesses and communities working towards clean energy initiatives.
59% : Free community college
57% : Over time, these companies would be required to phase in renewable energy to replace fossil fuels.
56% : Several cities across the US, including Buffalo, Denver, Los Angeles, San Francisco and Seattle have already implemented a version of free community college, but this plan would make it the nationwide standard.
54% : A Green New Deal, for starters.
53% : But as negotiations over the bill drag on, Democrats are undertaking one of the most ambitious and transformative domestic policy agendas since the Great Society of the 1960s or the New Deal of the 1930s.
51% : Another life-altering education element of the Build Back Better proposal is two years of free community college, which could bridge a wide gap for those socioeconomically disadvantaged by giving them a path to an associate's degree or to a four-year college.
51% : While Medicare services could expand if this bill is passed, it still does not guarantee Medicare for all, meaning the US will still lag many other nations around the world in not offering some form of universal healthcare.
50% : Medicaid is the government-run healthcare program for low-income families and disabled people who may be unable to get private insurance.
48% : The Build Back Better plan aims to reduce carbon emissions to net zero by 2050, far short of the Green New Deal's goal of 2035.
46% : But if the other budget bill for infrastructure is passed, there may be hope yet for some form of climate reform, thought not nearly as robust as those outlined in the Green New Deal.
46% : Finally, there are no additional increases in social security, the federal assistance for the poor, elderly and disabled.
