A fact check from the President Biden's news conference yesterday, marking a year since he took the oath of office.
If CNN are flagging it as inaccurate, then you know the President and the DNC are in trouble in the next election cycle and in the midterms due to be held on November 8 of this year. (link to article below)

Surprise medical bills
While listing examples of "enormous progress" during his first year, Biden said, "And we just made surprise medical bills illegal in this country."
Facts First: Biden's claim was lacking key context at best, misleading at worst. His "we just" phrasing could have led listeners to believe that he was the person who signed the law to ban surprise medical bills. In fact, former President Donald Trump signed the bipartisan measure in late 2020. The Biden administration did, however, have to develop a series of rules to turn the law into reality.
The law took effect at the beginning of this month -- so Biden's "we just" could perhaps be defended as a reference to the law's effective date rather than the date the law was signed. Still, he could've been much clearer.

Americans are set to have one less health care headache in 2022. The No Surprises Act, which bans most unexpected medical charges from out-of-network providers, is scheduled to go into effect January 1.
