Bidenflation has ravaged seniors over the past four years, putting enormous financial pressure on seniors living on fixed incomes. As a result, many seniors in battleground states like Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin are abandoning the Joe Biden-Kamala Harris administration in favor of Donald Trump, who has made clear promises to reduce inflation and lower health care costs.
Inflation is hitting seniors hard, and Biden and Harris are woefully negligent in their response. Their solution was the misnamed Inflation Reduction Act (IRA). They promised seniors that if the bill passed, prices would go down. They even had AARP spend $60 million to convince them to support the swamp. They helped Joe Biden sign the bill with Harris' tie-breaking vote and force it through Congress. However, the IRA did nothing to alleviate the financial pain of the elderly. Instead, the IRA stole hundreds of billions of dollars from Medicare to subsidize electric vehicles, benefiting Chinese manufacturers and their rulers, the Chinese Communist Party. IRAs were never intended to lower costs for seniors. It was a left-wing fever dream of big green subsidies and socialized medicine.
As a result, seniors' bills were even higher. IRAs have caused significant increases in Medicare premiums. Thanks to Biden and Harris, seniors are facing an astounding 20% increase this year, with some predictions that it could be another 50% or more next year. This is more than just an inconvenience. It is devastating the household finances of millions of older Americans.
Unfortunately, the IRA did not take place there. It also repealed the Trump kickback rule. This is an important safeguard aimed at saving seniors billions of dollars by lowering their out-of-pocket costs and curbing the greed of large pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs). be. By eliminating these protections, Biden and Harris have left seniors more vulnerable than ever to insurance companies overcharging them for prescription drugs.
The IRA also corrupted the popular Medicare Part D. No longer a market-driven program to bring affordable drugs to seniors, the IRA is turning a successful program into a bureaucratic nightmare with Washington-imposed price controls, creating a new $3 billion bureaucracy It is said that This makes it difficult for elderly people to obtain medicines. This is not just an increase in insurance premiums. It is about government intervention in patients' access to the medicines they need.
Thankfully, President Trump has vowed to protect Medicare and seniors and eliminate Green New fraud. “To further beat inflation, my plan is to end the Green New Deal, which I call the Green New Fraud,” the former president told the Economic Club of New York. . “and [I will] “We are canceling all unused funds under the misnamed Inflation Control Act,” Trump added. By returning these stolen subsidies to Medicare, President Trump will reverse the largest Medicare premium increase in history.
President Trump's plan would end subsidies to China, lower Medicare premiums for seniors, reinstate the Trump rebate rule, lower out-of-pocket costs, and give seniors access to needed medicines. It would end threatening and destructive government pricing practices. While Harris has stubbornly stuck to failed policies that have alienated seniors, Trump's plan will bring real reform and relief to seniors.
With less than three weeks until Election Day, older adults have the power to make a difference. Kamala Harris said she can't imagine changing anything after four years of supporting policies that objectively make things worse for older people. In fact, she promised to expand the Biden administration's pricing policies that led to the largest Medicare premium increases in history. If Harris continues like this, she will only widen Trump's margin of victory.
