This intentionally pushes more people to the Medicare Advantage
scamsplans.It’s a handout to insurance companies. The worst ones. All under the banner of saving tax payer dollars.
Premiums might go down! (Nevermind your drug costs going up).
Premiums might go down!

Supply chain!
My first thought as well. I did pharmacy claims support for a major pharmacy chain some years ago, and I didn’t know a whole lot about Medicare going into it, being a 20-something man who already realized Fox News was bullshit at the time. But from what I learned about Medicare “Advantage” plans, I could find very little compelling reason why they would be better than just plain ol’ part D.
If anything, it seemed like it was intended to separate elders from their money. Oh you’ve got the premium (more expensive) Medicare with an exclusive (more restrictive) formulary and doctors network. Like it’s specifically designed for slightly better off retirees who want to feel superior to the plebians with their socialist Medicare. That’s for the poors (more darker), just like public transit.
Its Obama’s Fault 🙄
He’s getting ready for the midterm loss. With that he’ll have a leverage on a potential Democrat majority.
Hanlon’s razor, Trump edition: never attribute to cold and calculating self-interest what can be adequately explained by malice.
He’s going to declare martial law in August.
