Medicare Plan A nor Medicare Plan B pay for prescriptions. That is not untrue. Please enlighten others and myself which āMedicareā is paying for prescriptions you are referring to?
My meds are covered by a supplemental plan I/ we pay a monthly ( deducted from SS benefit) each month.
Waiting on an answer to a question. Veiled insults arenāt conversation.
Hereās a simple one. Are you a Medicare recipient?
Yes or no will do. Please, spare us the word salads.
Wait thereās more:
You must be enrolled in Medicare Part A and/or Part B to enroll in Part D. Medicare drug coverage is only available through private plans. If you have Medicare Part A and/or Part B and you do not have other drug coverage (creditable coverage), you should enroll in a Part D plan. https://www.medicareinteractive.org āŗ .
How much does Medicare Part D usually cost?
Average national premium is $32.74/ month.
While itās true the US government canāt really do anything about other countries price controls, the pharma companies could just not sell to them at their ācontrolledā price.
And if the US starts dictating what itās willing to pay, thatās probably exactly what will happen.
From a vote winning perspective the Republicans are on thin ice. Instinctively they want to oppose it but big pharma is not exactly loved by the electorate and if the Republicans push to hard it will be perceived as them helping the pharma companies to keep their profits in the billions.
