It's interesting to see where he goes off-script:

This is the "transcript" that actually isn't a transcript, but a copy of the words on the teleprompter:

JOE BIDEN: Good afternoon everyone. Today we are in the worst global health crisis. Donald Trump will self attempt to strip away healthcare coverage from tens of millions of families in the United States. Strip away the peace of mind for more than 100 Strip away the peace of mind for more than 100 million people with Cree -- with pre-existing conditions. If he succeeds, more than 23 million Americans will lose their insurance overnight. Insurance could discriminate or deny services or drop coverage for people living with pre-existing conditions like asthma, diabetes, cancer and so much more. Perhaps most cruelly, debt -- if Donald Trump has his way, those with complications with COVID-19 could become pre-existing conditions. Checkup premiums, simply because of the battle they survived fighting coronavirus. Those survivors have struggled and won the fight of their lives would have their piece of my mind is stolen and at that moment they needed it most. They would live their lives caught in a vice between Donald Trump's twin legacies. His failure to protect the American people from Dick coronavirus and his heartless crusade to take healthcare protections away from their American families. I've called on Donald Trump to withdraw his lawsuit. Today am renewing that. Mr President, stop trying to get rid of the affordable care act. Stop taking away people's healthcare and their peace of mind. Now more than ever, stop trying to steal their peace of mind. I cannot comprehend the cruelty. It's driving him to inflict this pain on the very people he is supposed to serve. One of the families of the affordable care act has been a family who lives here in Pennsylvania. Stacy with four-year-old children heard the most devastating news a parent can hear. Both of her twins have been diagnosed with leukemia. It wrenches your entire walled off its axis. The little very last thing on your mind, the very last thing that should be on your mind is whether you can afford the treatment for your children. When Stacy's twins got sick, there was no affordable care act. So after draining days and endless nights harrowing stem cell transplants into fickle ways of hope and fear as they gradually, they still faced the future. They still face a future where the twins can be denied coverage for the rest of their life because he had a preconditioning -- pre-existing condition. For Stacy, they can focus on the fight that matters to save their children. Stacy's twins won their fight. They beat cancer. Now they are 22 years of age, Jan is studying early education and Allen just graduated in international studies. Because of the law, the insurance company can no longer deny them coverage because they are survivors of cancer. A pre-existing condition. I'm proud of the affordable care act. In addition to helping people with pre-existing conditions, this is the law that's delivered vital coverage for 20 million Americans that do not have health insurance. The law that bars insurance companies from capping American benefits. And from charging women more for insurance simply because they are a woman. It's a law that reduces prescription drug costs by nearly 12 It's a law that reduces prescription drug costs by nearly 12 million seniors. They would see their cost spike because the Medicare donor hole would have suddenly reopened. And their cost would have gone up precipitously. It's a law that saves lives. But now, in the middle of the worst public health crisis, and modern history, at least since the pandemic of 1918, Donald Trump is suing to take millions of more Americans back to the way things were before. It's cruel, heartless, callous, and it's all because in my view, he cannot abide the thought of letting stand one of President Obama's greatest achievements, the affordable care act. We have seen that same callousness in his handling of the coronavirus. Just over three months ago, as most Americans were first coming to grips with this unprecedented scale of danger, this pandemic, President Trump publicly claimed, "anyone that wants a test, anyone, can get it". It simply was not true. And he knew it. Then five days ago, and his campaign rally and also, Oklahoma he admitted telling people, " we have to slow the testing down. Slow down, please." He actually said it. In his our 50 minute speech. Slow the testing down, please. Spokespeople tried to say that he was joking. But then Trump himself said he was not joking. He told testing, "a double bed -- a double edged sword." Let's be crystal clear about what he means by that. Testing unequivocally saves lives. And widespread testing is the key to opening our economy again. That's one edge. That's one edge of the sword. The other edge is that he thinks that finding out that more Americans are sick will make him look bad. That's what he's worried about. He's worried about looking bad. Donald Trump needs to stop caring about he looks and start caring about what is happening in the rest of America. The number of cases is increasing in 29 states. Were going to be dealing with this for a long time. Trump can't wish it away. He can't bend it to meet his political wishes. There are no miracles coming. We are not going to have to wait for this miracle because none is coming. Were going to have to step up as Americans, all of us and do the simple things and of the hard things. To keep our families safe and to reopen our economy and put this pandemic behind us and sadly, we will have to do without responsible leadership coming out of the White House. It's up to us, all of us, and we will have to move -- to wear our mask. I have mine off because we are social distance. I wear it everywhere I go. I know as Americans, it's not something we are used to. But it matters! All the evidence from all over the world tells us that it just might be the single most effective thing that we can do! We are going to have to social distance like we are here today. It's not easy. It seems so strange to us. Not as Americans but as human beings. We are built to talk, laugh, hug, gather with other people. I know that I am and I know you are. For now we have to social distance. It matters. We are going to have to find a way to keep our economy running as we bring the number of cases down. The president wants us to believe there is a choice between the economy and public health. Amazingly he still hasn't grasped for the most basic fact of this crisis. To fix the economy, we have to get control over the virus! I will say it again, to fix the economy, we have to get control over the virus. He's like a child. Who can't believe this is happening to him. All his whining and self-pity. This pandemic did not happen to him. It happened to all of us. And his drama is not to whine about it, his job is to do something about it. To lead. If I have the honor of being president, I promise you I will lead. I will do everything I can to take responsibility and ease this burden on you and your families. I will put your family first. That will begin with a dramatic expansion of health coverage. And bold steps to lower healthcare costs. We need a public option. Now more than ever. Especially even more than 20 million people are unemployed. That public option will allow every American, regardless of their employment status, the choice to get a merit -- a Medicare life plan. It will force private insurers to keep coverage low. For the first time, you will have to compete with your business with the public ensure that does not have to make a profit. We will lower premiums for people buying coverage on their own. By guaranteeing that no American ever has to spend more than 8.5% of their income on health insurance. That number will be lower for lower income people. All the details of this plan will be laid out in the next few weeks. We are also going to further reduce cost by making it less expensive for Americans to choose plans with out-of-pocket expenses. By lowering prescription drug prices. By adding the practice of so-called surprise buildings. -- Surprise billings that can leave you with unexpectedly high bills after leaving the hospital. My plan lowers healthcare cost, gets us to universal coverage quickly. When Americans desperately need it, now. Families are really needing it right now. During illness, forcing into risky choices, losing their employer plan in droves as their employers go out of business or have to suspend business. They need lifelines, now. Now. That's what the families here today deserve. That's what the families all across this nation deserve. They don't need a president going to court to deny them the healthcare they now have. They need a president who will go into the White House and fight like hell to make sure that they get the health care that they need. If Donald Trump refuses to end his senseless crusade, I look forward to ending it for him. And working quickly with Congress to dramatically ramp up protections to get Americans universal coverage and lower healthcare costs as soon as humanly possible. This is my promise to you. When I'm president, I will take care of your health care coverage and your family the same way I would my own. This is personal to me and my wife, Jill. When I was sworn into the United States Senate, next to a hospital bed, my wife and daughter had just been killed in a car crash and a ligand the bed were my two young boys. Surviving boys. I could never imagine what it would've been like if we hadn't had healthcare. Healthcare that we needed. That we needed immediately. 40 years later, one of those little boys my grown son, after having been the Attorney General and coming back from Iraq for a year, had contracted a fatal cancer. The question was, whether or not he could survive it, the question was how long he would have to live. How many months. I remember sitting in the hospital, with my two other children, Hunter and Ashley. I remember thinking, and I give you my word to this. What in the hell would I do if the insurance company was allowed to do what they could've done before the affordable healthcare act. They will come in and say you have run out of time. You have run out of your coverage. So for the last two, three, four, five painful months dying on your own. Suffer in peace. I can't fathom . I cannot fathom a parent having to go through that. Which is exactly what happened to many families before the affordable care act. So Amy, I understand. When I say I will take care of your health care coverage the same way I take care of my family. There's nothing that I take more seriously. That's my promise to Stacy and Victoria and Amy. And to every American. That's what the presidency is. The presidency is our duty to care. A duty to care for everyone. Not just to voted for you, but everyone. All of us. And no trust is more sacred no responsibility more solemn, more purpose more fundamental, then for a president to do absolutely everything that he or she can do to protect American lives. I want every single Americans you know, if you are sick, if you are struggling, if you are w
