## Resource

Medicare Part D is set to undergo a major shift as the government ends a key subsidy program that’s kept premiums low for millions—averaging $36 per person. Expected to take effect in 2027, the move aims to cut out the middleman, though critics argue it benefits insurers more than enrollees. While exact cost impacts remain unknown, enrollees may see premiums rise by up to $20—or even drop—for many. This decision arrives amid broader healthcare cost pressures, including expiring ACA subsidies. The administration frames it as a necessary step to stabilize the market and eliminate what they call a “bailout,” while also advancing other drug price reforms like international pricing deals and a $50 cap on certain medications. Officials insist all beneficiaries will still have access to affordable coverage, with ongoing efforts to lower drug prices nationwide.
