Seniors are feeling the true cost of drug price “negotiations.”
For millions of seniors nationwide, the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) is poised to create further uncertainty about what medicines they can access as part of their Medicare Part D plans. Additionally, most Part D patients are not expected to experience any cost savings from price setting in 2026. Instead, millions are likely to face increased costs.
Higher costs and less access are not what seniors were promised when the IRA was signed into law.
