The following content is Americans want limited government.
There's an old joke in Washington that the vice president has only two responsibilities: first, to ask the president how he's feeling that day, and second, to break tie votes in the Senate.
The first mission is no longer relevant since Democrats undemocratically barred President Joe Biden from reelection and appointed Vice President Kamala Harris, and the second mission is one that Harris would rather hide than brag about.
Two years ago, Harris voted Breaking a 50-50 tie She is opposed to the Inflation Relief Act (IRA), which is a key part of the Biden-Harris Administration's “Invest in America” policy, and therefore owns an IRA, despite her not-so-transparent attempts to fleece Biden. The White House recently Fact Sheet About how his “achievements” saved the world from the “climate crisis.”
Even the left-wing media has warned that this law No impact on inflationUnder Biden, inflation will triple, higher than at any time under either Trump or Obama, who never revealed his secret to controlling inflation while juggling things.
Americans know that everything has gotten more expensive under the Biden-Harris Administration: gas, groceries, housing. But perhaps the worst impact of the IRA is that it has devastated America's elderly health care system, causing the biggest increase in Medicare Part D premiums ever. The IRA rewrote Medicare Part D, changing it from a program that relied on markets and competition to control costs into a command-and-control program run by bureaucrats in Washington, DC, who regulate prices. And the results have been devastating.
For the 50 million Americans enrolled in Medicare Part D, premiums have remained stable for 15 years, but are expected to rise by more than 20% in 2024 and almost 50% in 2025.
And here's the latest news: The Biden-Harris administration is taking steps to temporarily alleviate premium increases for seniors just before the election. Part D Relief Insurance companies are spending billions of taxpayer dollars to hide these price increases. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) calls this “premium stabilization” for stand-alone prescription drug plans, and here's how it works: Great report By Paragon Health Research Institute.
on the other hand, The Wall Street Journal Condemned “The CMS intervention is another example of how the costs of IRAs will be much higher than Democrats claim. How much higher, no one knows, because CMS has not conducted its usual rulemaking, which requires a cost analysis,” the paper's editorial board said.
Thankfully, leading Republicans have asked the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) to do just that.
This week, House Budget Committee Chair Jody Arrington (R-TX), Senate Budget Committee Chair Chuck Grassley (R-IA), House Energy and Commerce Committee Chair Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R-WA), House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Jason Smith (R-MO), and Senate Finance Committee Chair Mike Crapo (R-ID) filed a lawsuit against the House of Representatives. letter Democrats are demanding more details about the CMS bailout, which they're calling a “demonstration program.”
“Because of Democrats' rushed and partisan policy decisions on the IRA, older Americans will face higher prescription drug premiums next year,” Republicans said. “It will reduce seniors' choices when it comes to deciding on their health care next year.”
“To hide premium increases ahead of November, the Biden-Harris Administration has announced a new demonstration program that will send billions of dollars of taxpayer money directly to major insurance companies to keep premium increases in check,” they said.
These all seem like important issues to resolve in a complex program that provides the health and wellness of 50 million Americans. But rather than hold Medicare accountable for its price controls, Harris is pushing for more Price Controls She’s putting all the effort she can into the economy… as if we needed one more reason to want Donald Trump back in the White House.
