The #TrumpAdmin's move to end Medicare Part D subsidies seems political* 🙄 & premiums will likely increase.
The subsidies were put into place by the bipartisan, Biden-era Inflation Reduction Act. CMS Director Oz called them a "bailout", saying they weren't needed since the admin is "stabilizing the market," lowering drug prices for #Medicare recipients w/ efforts like MFN (rel. to international trade) & getting recipients access to GLP-1s for $50/month.
