Hiltzik criticizes GOP Medicare attack

The article discusses the decision to end the Medicare Part D subsidy program designed to stabilize prescription drug premiums. The Trump administration justified the move by claiming the program had succeeded in controlling costs, but critics argue that removing these subsidies could lead to significant premium increases for millions of seniors, especially those on fixed incomes. The withdrawal of the subsidies is expected to shift more beneficiaries into Medicare Advantage plans, which often have higher government payments and potentially higher overall costs, raising concerns about the impact on older Americans and the integrity of the Medicare system.
