Vice President Kamala Harris is racing against a ticking time bomb, hoping it won’t blow before November.
The Biden-Harris administration touted the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) as the end of the U.S.’s inflation woes. It was supposed to help with several economic issues, including capping out-of-pocket drug costs for Medicare beneficiaries. However, Medicare beneficiaries will see significant hikes in their monthly premiums to compensate for the profit loss from the mandatory cap on out-of-pocket drug costs.
Huge scandal that Kamala Harris should be asked about immediately.

— Matt Whitlock (@mattdizwhitlock) August 14, 2024The last thing Harris needs during an election year is for millions of Americans to have increased monthly costs (with average bids for Part D plans expected to triple) after she voted to pass the IRA using her tie-breaking vote in the Senate. To keep premiums artificially low and help Harris avoid “potential voter backlash,” the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) announced on July 30 that it would be subsidizing the premiums with taxpayer monies, Fox News reported.
CMS enacted the “demonstration project,” which will increase the taxpayer burden “from $30 per recipient per month in 2024 to $142.70 in 2025,” according to Fox. Critics told the outlet the move will likely not “survive legal scrutiny,” but that won’t matter because Harris just needs the premiums to stay low long enough to make it to the Nov. 5 election to avoid voter scrutiny from the over 67 million Americans enrolled in Medicare programs.
