  3. In the U.S., you can withdraw at 55. Health insurance waits until 65

    In the U.S., you can withdraw from a 401(k) penalty-free starting at 55. But Medicare doesn't begin until 65. Who pays during that 10-year gap?

  4. CMS is ending the Medicare Part D Premium Stabilization Demonstration on December 31. The program paid a monthly subsidy toward standalone drug plan premiums, $15 per member in 2025 and $10 in 2026, and capped how far those premiums could rise year over year. Without it, the increases land in 2027 plan pricing.

    National Campaign for Justice has a letter to Congress asking them to preserve it.

  9. How does Mr Trump feel about helping Americans?

    President Donald Trump made these remarks during an Easter luncheon at the White House on April 1, 2026. The event was closed to the press, but a video stream of the speech was briefly broadcast live on the White House social media accounts before being taken down. During the remarks, Trump stated: "Don't send any money for daycare, because the United States can't take care of daycare. That has to be up to a state. We can't take care of daycare. We're a big country. We have 50 states. We […]

  10. Medicaid Cuts? Yes. But the #GOP Is Quietly Cutting Medicare, Too

    A little understood aspect of the big, ugly bill could cause devastating problems for seniors and others.

    PAYGO is not a term that crosses many lips in daily discourse. But it may soon be used more widely, as its impact resonates in the aftermath of the passage of the so-called One Big Beautiful Act. While the enormous and damaging cuts in #Medicaid have dominated discussion since the bill was enacted—cuts that will take millions of Americans off of #HealthInsurance, force the closure of many rural hospitals and nursing homes, and likely put enormous increased pressure on emergency rooms across the country—another shoe is soon to drop. And that is major cuts in its sister program, #Medicare.

  15. #MI10 wants a representative like Carl Marlinga who will fight for them, bring down costs, bring back jobs while providing healthcare and clean water for families. His opponent will gut Social Security/Medicare and repeal the ACA. Let's elect Carl in November. #BlueWaveRising #DemCastMI #DemCast #Allied4Dems #SocialSecurity #Medicare #ACA #CleanWater #Vote4Healthcare #Michigan #Jobs

  16. Don’t let the rainbow fool you. #Merck is currently:
    1) advocating for multiple doses of #gardasil when one is sufficient
    2) promoting #molnupiravir despite its ineffectiveness and risks to both patients and global health
    3) suing to block #medicare from negotiating drug prices

  17. CW: Medical politics - having to pay for useless appointments

    The #GrattanInstitute in #Australia has recently released a report recommending #Medicare be updated as it no longer serves patients or medical professionals. This probably surprises no-one, particularly people with #ChronicIllness and in my opinion is well overdue.

    Something that I think needs a lot of thought however is the current situation where patients are still expected to pay for services that provide zero value or in some cases cause harm. Too often I have had absolutely useless appointments with #Doctors who are ill informed on my disease (#MyalgicEncephalomyelitis) and can provide no benefit or recommendation for my illness yet I am still expected to attend these appointments/referrals and pay for them.

    The current system is stacked against patients struggling not only with chronic disease but also financially, adding further to their costs and providing no incentive for doctors to update their knowledge since they'll get paid anyway. Surely the system should do the opposite and encourage doctors to keep up to date and adopt and/or develop best practice if they expect to be reimbursed for their knowledge.
