At the second first presidential debate, Vice President Kamala Harris will claim she capped prescription drug costs so that she can say she took on big drug companies. Sure enough, ahead of her debate, Harris released a new list of policies on her campaign website. She claims: “Just as she did as Vice President, she will take on Big Pharma to lower drug prices.”
But what she’s not telling you is that her policies and one consequential vote is making seniors’ wallets weep.
As vice president, Kamala Harris cast the tie-breaking vote that’s now making seniors’ Medicare Part D premiums skyrocket faster than a SpaceX rocket. The Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) might as well be renamed the “Inflation of Medicare Premiums Act.” The IRA or IMPA has increased seniors’ Medicare Part D premiums by more than 20 percent this year and will increase their premiums by more than 50 percent next year. And it could be even higher—some say double.
And to hide the premium hikes on seniors right before the election, the Biden-Harris administration is bailing out Part D insurers with billions in taxpayer dollars from the Medicare trust fund.
But wait, there’s more! This act didn’t just tweak the numbers; it created a new $3 billion bureaucracy so big that it could probably be seen from space. This isn’t just about higher premiums; it’s about government bureaucrats playing doctor, deciding what medicines are covered for your ailments.
