Bill > HR5099

This bill aims to move Medicare cost-sharing benefits from Medicaid to Medicare and expand access to prescription drug cost assistance under Medicare Part D for low-income seniors and individuals with disabilities. Specifically, the bill would create a new "Medicare Cost Assistance Program" that would provide Medicare cost assistance, such as premiums, coinsurance, and deductibles, for eligible individuals with incomes at or below 200% of the federal poverty level. The bill would also expand eligibility for Medicare Part D low-income subsidies by increasing the income threshold from 135% to 200% of the federal poverty level.
