In Florida, millions of seniors rely on Medicare Advantage, but the Biden administration’s proposed cuts to this vital program could increase premiums and reduce services.

#PBMs work on behalf of patients to keep out-of-pocket costs for prescriptions low. One way they do this is by encouraging pharmacies to dispense cheaper generic drug alternatives to patients. #OnYourRXSide #prescriptions #genericdrugs onyourrxside.org/

Medicare Part D is integral to our seniors' care.
It keeps costs low & ensures they have reliable, affordable access to the drugs they need. In the #IncomeReductionAct, changes to Part D will CUT drug benefits - meaning their premiums & out-of-pocket expenses will skyrocket.
