Trump Administration to End Medicare Part D Subsidy Program After 2026
The Trump administration will end a temporary Medicare Part D subsidy program after 2026, which has helped keep prescription drug premiums lower for about 25 million seniors. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) said insurers now have enough experience to price plans accurately without the subsidy. CMS Administrator Dr. Mehmet Oz stated that premiums may increase by less than $10 for most beneficiaries, with some potentially seeing decreases. Final premium rates for 2027 will be announced in September.
