I know this bill has not yet passed the Senate, but it has some health care provisions that affect the ACA and Medicare, the may affects some folks in the E-R forum.
Regarding the ACA, it extends the 8.5% cap on premiums through 2025.
Regarding Medicare, it has a provision to cap annual out of pocket drug expenses for Medicare recipients. It also directs HHS to negotiate a limited number of drug prices, starting in 2025. It caps the price of insulin at $35/month for Medicare recipients. Also hearing benefits will start in 2023.
We’ll have to see what happens with this in the next few weeks.
