I'm just starting on Medicare, and now this. After all the BS about lowering drug costs, Trump's Project 2025 men send another message that they want old people dead. There can be no other explanation. Think of the people who will simply not be able to afford insulin or other life-sustaining drugs.
I'm not well-off, but I will absorb the extra costs just like I have food and tariff goods and gas prices: by working harder than I ever have in my life, even though I'll be 65, and likely will never be able to retire. So, they'll get their wish. I will work until I die, and that will be sooner than it would have been if the president of the United States did not hate almost everyone. It doesn't have to be this way. Sorry you kids couldn't vote for Kamala, but rejoice! We'll clear the way for you to own a home you won't be able to afford.
The U.S. already has the highest mortality rate of its citizens than any other developed country in the world. Citizens in the U.K. already live longer than their American counterparts. May have something to do with an inequitable healthcare system.
My wife and I both benefit from this cost offset significantly. Both of us take some fairly expensive medications prescribed by our doctors. The $2100 out-of-pocket maximum has made a real difference to our ability to continue taking these medications and meeting other obligations as well. Next year we will have to rethink our household economics and see where we can adjust. Just another gift from the all grifters in the Republican Party (not to mention the billionaire drug company owners).
Well what about all the BULLSHIT the taxpayers have "underwritten" for this admin's "pet projects and priorities," starting with the fuckwit's (credit Jeff Tiedrich) at the top of the pile?? It's a little late for splitting hairs.
When the government is the market, the one paying the bills for each Rx in Medicare, how can market competition be expected to dictate rate structures? Should the consumer respond by shunning the drug in favor of a more expensive procedure? Does an individual choice of drug a, drug b, or procedure impact them personally?

The aim is to drive seniors to private Medicare insurance plans.
yes...AND MANY OF THOSE PLANS SAVE $$S by refusing or delaying needed medical care
Aka ordinary crappy insurance.

I think one could make a credible argument that we're not really a developed country.
Thank you for keeping us informed. My husband and I just found out that my husband’s medigap premium will increase 25% next year. Now this.
