EPIC Act a Good First Step Toward Undoing the Damage Biden’s IRA Did to Medicare

President Joe Biden left the new Trump administration with a lot of messes to clean up.
Between open borders, sky-high inflation, a weaponized IRS, a degraded military, wasteful green energy spending, and other special interest handouts—it is hard to keep track. But one of Biden’s most egregious efforts was the scheme to covertly manipulate and financially drain Medicare—and American seniors’ wallets—to help pay for his handlers’ misguided political agenda.
Biden, through the intentionally misnamed Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) spending plan, broke Medicare. Seniors’ health care costs have gone up, not down. And patients’ access to care has decreased, not increased as promised. President Donald Trump now has a mandate to fix this. More broadly, he has pledged to lower costs, improve the quality of care deserved by older Americans in Medicare, and usher in a new era of life-saving innovation. There is much to be done to save Medicare and help Make America Healthy Again, including halting any further implementation of the IRA. But Congress should take immediate action to eliminate what has become known as the Biden “pill penalty.”
