Jack, Medicare premiums increased by a whopping 15% because of Big Pharma's price gouging. So the Biden administration fought against Big Pharma--and won. But now, Health and Human Services (HHS) is dragging their feet to adjust premium prices--continuing to overcharge 57 million seniors in the meantime. HHS must stop using red tape as an excuse and give this money back directly to those seniors impacted by Big Pharma’s greed.

HHS must issue Medicare rebate checks immediately. Even rebates as small as $100 received before November would have a real impact in the lives of millions of seniors. This administration can't let bureaucratic red tape keep them from helping seniors who were ripped off by Big Pharma.

P.S. Below is an email we sent out earlier demanding that HHS lower Medicare premiums:

Late last year, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) announced the largest premium hike for Medicare in history--increasing premiums to 15%. The high number was a direct result of Aduhelm, a new Alzheimer's medication made by Biogen for the price tag of $56,000/yr. After Biogen was exposed for price gouging, they agreed to cut the price of the drug in half.
Sign and send the petition: Fix Medicare's inflated premiums!
SIGN THE PETITION
Health and Human Services (HHS) overestimated the cost of Aduhelm and will adjust the premium price. But the adjustment won't happen until 2023 because of "legal and operational hurdles." Now, 57 million seniors won't get the savings they deserve because of mismanagement and corporate greed.
That is simply unacceptable. HHS can issue Medicare rebate checks almost immediately and give this money back to seniors before November. We must demand that HHS cut the red tape to give seniors their due.

Thank you for fighting with us,
