The White House’s New Medicare Salvo

“President Joe Biden and the White House are launching a new offensive against House Republicans, blasting the party for eyeing Medicare cuts in a bid to paint the GOP as trying to harm seniors,” Politico reports.

“This morning, the White House will issue a release singling out a bill just filed by freshman Rep. Andy Ogles (R-TN) that would repeal the Inflation Reduction Act. The White House notes that the Democratic bill allowed Medicare to negotiate lower drug costs, which AARP cheered as a “historic measure” that would save seniors money. It also limited annual out-of-pocket drug costs to $2,000 and capped co-pays for insulin at $35 for those on Medicare.”

“They’ll be releasing state-by-state data indicating how this would affect constituents in different areas.”
