The Inflation Reduction Act delivers five historic drug price reforms that will deliver relief to millions of patients on Medicare.
The Inflation Reduction Act will save millions of patients millions of dollars by reducing drug prices and out-of-pocket costs in the Medicare program. As each of these provisions take effect in coming years, Americans will see their savings grow and get real relief from the predatory drug pricing practices of Big Pharma.
Putting brand new programs like Medicare negotiation into effect takes time, but some portions of the bill will lower prices for patients as soon as 2023.
Annual Part D prescription out-of-pocket costs will be capped at $2,000.
Lower prices for the first 10 negotiated drugs will become available, delivering savings to taxpayers as well as patients taking the selected medications.
Additional drugs will be selected for negotiation each year, and by 2029 as many as 60 drugs total could be selected and negotiated.
