Earlier this week, President Biden announced that for the first time in more than a decade, premiums for Medicare Part B will decrease next year – by over $60 per beneficiary per year. In addition, through the work of the Inflation Reduction Act, President Biden and Democrats are continuing to strengthen and protect Medicare and lower health care and prescription drug costs for hard working families across the country.
