On June 3rd, Breitbart<\/a> posted an article about the impact of the Inflation Reduction Act on Medicare Part D premiums.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

One of the classic strategies in the Obama\/Biden playbook is policy that sounds good in the short-term, but whose long-term consequences won\u2019t be felt until after<\/em> an election. That way if Democrats win, they\u2019re insulated from voters holding them accountable;\u00a0but<\/em> if they lose, they can blame Republicans when things go south.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This was undoubtedly one of the plays the Biden administration had in mind for the gallingly misnamed Inflation Reduction Act (IRA). But this disastrous legislation hasn\u2019t just sabotaged Americans\u2019 wallets, it\u2019s sabotaged their health as well.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Snuck into the IRA was a poorly drafted provision that attempted to lower out-of-pocket expenses on prescription drugs. The IRA lowers the out-of-pocket maximum for seniors from about $3,300 to $2,000 by shifting the responsibility for the $1,300 difference to insurance companies. To no one\u2019s surprise, the insurance companies pass that cost to consumers in the form of higher premiums and restricted access to prescription drugs.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This year, premiums for Medicare Part D are up more than 20 percent for the more than 50 million Americans enrolled. In 2025, they could increase again by more than 50 percent! We hope people are paying close enough attention during open enrollment in October to compare this price spike as President Biden campaigns on how he \u201cfought Big Pharma to lower drug costs!\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

The article concludes:<\/p>\n

One large health plan, Mutual of Omaha, recently hinted that it will pull out of the Part D market in 2025. Almost 200,000 seniors \u2013 who one hopes are all high-information voters living in Rust Belt swing states \u2013 will be forced to find a new plan from increasingly fewer options. As time goes on, unless changes can be made, this will get worse and worse, leaving seniors with fewer options as they\u2019re told by uncaring Democrats how much they\u2019ve helped them.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Biden administration has screwed \u2013 along with the economy, immigration, foreign policy, the future of the human race, etc. \u2013 the American healthcare system. And it seems like most people have gotten wise to the schemes in their dirty playbook, as everyone knows they\u2019re lying about this issue<\/a>. When they likely lose in November, President Trump and his allies will have their hands full undoing the damage. Luckily, they\u2019re up to the task.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Let’s simply vote out all Democrats this November.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
