This is Words Matter with the Norma Ornstein.

Well, these are big things that matter a lot.

And Dr. Cavida Patel.

So it's a pretty incredible chunk of change.

Well, and welcome to Words Matter from the DSR Network.

Each week, Norma Ornstein and I will talk about the issues facing our country as we head into the midterms

and what our leaders are saying and doing about them.

Today, we're going to take a deeper dive into something that Norma and I have been discussing for weeks now.

And that's the Inflation Reduction Act.

It's incredible history up until its recent passage, as well as what I think is hopefully a shared viewpoint

between Norma and myself about the ability for the IRA to have potentially the greatest impact in our generation

and a number of areas, including healthcare, climate change, tax, energy policies, and so on and so on.

So thanks so much for joining us and hope you enjoy the show.

Norm, it feels like we're still seeing a little bit of the, I would say, initial kind of roll out

as people are taking apart the onion that is the IRA and understanding pieces of it.

I think a lot got put on by the title, the ability to, quote, reduce inflation, close quote.

But I don't know if that's really doing justice to the fact that this, in my mind, has been one of the most significant domestic policy achievements

and global policy achievements of a Congress, again, in my lifetime.

What's your take, Norma?

And we can go deeper into some of the provisions and hopefully not only educate ourselves, but join in with our listeners as well.

So, you know, a couple of things just initially, Kavita, one is this seems to me to be a perfect topic for a podcast named Words Matter.

And that's true in two ways.
