REMINDER: President Biden is Leading the Fight to Lower Prescription Drug Costs in Florida
As Floridians continue dealing with some of the highest health care costs in the country, Ron DeSantis tried taking credit for lowering prescription drug prices in Florida while failing to mention that President Biden and his Inflation Reduction Act passed last year have already begun the work of lowering prescription drug prices for millions of Floridians.
Here’s How President Biden is Helping Ease the Cost of Prescription Drugs in Florida:
- Protecting millions of Floridians from catastrophic drug costs by capping Medicare beneficiary out-of-pocket costs in Part D at $2,000.
- Saving billions of dollars for seniors, people with disabilities and the federal government by allowing Medicare to negotiate prices for high-cost drugs.
- Addressing rapid prescription drug price growth in Medicare.
- Saving Florida Medicare beneficiaries money by capping insulin copays at $35 per month.
- Providing extra help paying for drugs for Florida Medicare beneficiaries with low incomes.
- Saving hundreds of thousands of Florida Medicare beneficiaries money by ending cost-sharing for vaccines in Part D.
