mandatory Medicare insulin price capKFF Health News

Trump is correct that his administration enacted a program to lower insulin costs for some patients on Medicare .
An analysis by the Rand Corp. showed the program reduced participants’ out-of-pocket insulin costs by $198 to $441 per year on average.
The Inflation Reduction Act , which Congress passed and Biden signed into law in 2022 , included an insulin provision that went further than Trump ’s voluntary initiative.
Inflation Reduction Act caps total out-of-pocket prescription costs at $ 2,000 annually for people with Medicare drug plans starting in 2025 , down from $ 3,300 this year .
Biden proposed expanding this benefit to all insulin patients in his 2023 State of the Union address.
Trump has repeatedly criticized the law and called for overturning some of its provisions.
