The Biden administration's announcement of lower average monthly premiums for prescription drugs next year is a strategic move aimed at protecting older Americans as upcoming elections draw near.
This decision avoided the political fallout of higher costs, as officials redirected funds from a Medicare trust to counteract potential premium increases that could have burdened millions.
