As the open enrollment period is about to begin, I received my &#8220;Advanced Notice of Change&#8221; for 2025 recently. Upon looking at it, I thought this can&#8217;t be correct!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Except that it was thanks to changes imposed by the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.congress.gov\/117\/plaws\/publ169\/PLAW-117publ169.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Inflation Reduction Act 2022<\/a><\/strong>. It only passed the Senate due to a tie-breaking vote by VP Kamala Harris.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailysignal.com\/2024\/09\/19\/biden-harris-price-controls-causing-senior-drug-prices-skyrocket\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">As noted by the Daily Signal<\/a><\/strong>, the act imposed price controls on prescription drugs that was supposed to lower health care costs. Look at the page below form the notice that compares 2024 premiums and deductibles with that projected for 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"791\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Annual-Notice-of-Change-ANOC-08_23_2024-791x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-34753\" style=\"width:975px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Annual-Notice-of-Change-ANOC-08_23_2024-791x1024.jpg 791w, https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Annual-Notice-of-Change-ANOC-08_23_2024-232x300.jpg 232w, https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Annual-Notice-of-Change-ANOC-08_23_2024-768x994.jpg 768w, https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Annual-Notice-of-Change-ANOC-08_23_2024-1187x1536.jpg 1187w, https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Annual-Notice-of-Change-ANOC-08_23_2024-1583x2048.jpg 1583w, https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Annual-Notice-of-Change-ANOC-08_23_2024-640x828.jpg 640w, https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Annual-Notice-of-Change-ANOC-08_23_2024-940x1216.jpg 940w, https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Annual-Notice-of-Change-ANOC-08_23_2024-1320x1708.jpg 1320w, https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Annual-Notice-of-Change-ANOC-08_23_2024-scaled.jpg 1978w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 791px) 100vw, 791px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>My monthly premium increase $35 per month or a 673% increase. The only reason it is &#8220;only&#8221; $35 is that is the maximum allowed. Likewise, my deductible increases by 110% to $590 and the price for the cheapest prescription drugs doubles from zero to $5. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I am not diabetic so the price cap on insulin doesn&#8217;t impact me. The only supposed saving grace about this whole debacle is that my maximum out of pocket is now capped at $2000 per year instead of $8000. Given my actual out of pocket was probably no more than $200, BFD!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So much for inflation reduction as my premiums alone will rise by $420! If the cackling one thinks this is good economics, she isn&#8217;t as smart as she thinks she is.<\/p>\n<div style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;\" class=\"sharethis-inline-share-buttons\" ><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Medicare Part D is the mandatory prescription drug insurance everyone on traditional Medicare is required to have.
