This One Drug Will Make Medicare Premiums Skyrocket [View all]

Dec 16, 2021

Seniors will pay record-high Medicare premiums in 2022 after the FDA approved an Alzheimer’s drug that costs $56,000 over the objections of medical advisors. There is zero evidence that the drug cures or reverses Alzheimer's. Three FDA administrators quit in protest.

Biden must act stop this outrageous increase in Medicare premiums.
