I was on an expensive drug for a couple of years. The Medicare Part D cap on out of pocket costs was the only reason we could afford it. The cap was phased in, $3,300 per year in 2024 and $2,000 per year in 2025.

The good news is that patients managing their pain after surgery now have an alternative to the extreme differences in treatment of temporary pain using opioids and, on the other end of the spectrum, OTC meds like Tylenol.

The bad but not-unexpected news is that the new medicine is US$15.50 for each pill. 🙄

"The healthcare access of about 24 million people who bought their health insurance through the Affordable Care Act (ACA) this year is now at risk.

Trump also repealed Biden-era orders to cut the cost of prescription drugs for people using the government health insurance programs Medicare and Medicaid. The core beneficiaries are older and lower-income Americans."

""Donald Trump has signed several executive orders that put more than 20 million lower-income and middle-class Americans’ access to healthcare in jeopardy.

Within two days of his return to office, the president had ordered the repeal of Biden-era directives that had expanded Americans’ healthcare access and options."

Why would they do this 🤬🤑🤮

This program should be expanded and not eliminated!

“#Senate and House #Republicans told Peter Sullivan of #Axios that if they regain control of the government, they will work to get rid of the provision in the #InflationReductionAct that permits the government to negotiate with pharmaceutical companies over drug prices.

Negotiations on the first ten drugs, completed in August, will lower the cost of those drugs enough to save taxpayers $6 billion a year, while those enrolled in #Medicare will save $1.5 billion in out-of-pocket expenses.”
