***MEDIA ADVISORY FOR MONDAY OCTOBER 28, 2024 AT 12 PM ET // 10 AM MT***
The MAGA Project 2025 Agenda Will Raise Drug Prices and Premiums, Ban Drug Negotiation, and Slash Benefits For Millions of Seniors
Washington, D.C. — On Monday, October 28, 2024, at 12 PM ET // 10 AM MT, Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham (D-NM) and Richard Fiesta from Alliance for Retired Americans will join Protect Our Care to sound the alarm on Republican threats to Medicare. Medicare Open Enrollment kicked off on October 15, and millions of seniors have begun selecting their plans for 2025. New benefits under the Inflation Reduction Act are saving people thousands of dollars a year on their prescription drugs, but MAGA Republicans want to roll all of this back and hike costs for seniors and people with disabilities nationwide.
During the call, Protect Our Care will release a new report outlining how Medicare is on the chopping block if Donald Trump gets his way. The MAGA Project 2025 agenda includes repealing the Inflation Reduction Act, hiking prescription drug costs, and stopping Medicare from negotiating lower prices. Republicans also want to slash tens of billions from Medicare to pay for more tax breaks for the wealthy.
