We the People Wednesdays Action for August 12

Millions of Americans with Medicare prescription drug coverage — the vast majority of them seniors — could pay higher monthly premiums next year, after the end of a temporary federal subsidy program.  The Trump administration announced the end of the Medicare Part D subsidy program after 2026, saying the program was temporary and insurers no longer need federal support to price their Medicare Part D plans.  Analysts say some Medicare beneficiaries could see higher Part D premiums as a result.  Senator Ruben Gallego (D-AZ) called on the administration to take immediate action to prevent steep increases in Medicare Part D prescription drug premiums for 2026.  Let’s ask our senators to join this call.

Write to our senators to follow Senator Gallego’s example.  Adapt this sample text:

Dear Senator xxx,

Sincerely,
