How Inflation Reduction Act reduces healthcare costs

View descriptionShare

President Biden signed the Inflation Reduction Act into law earlier this week. Part of the legislation lowers the prices of prescription drugs - and puts money back in the pockets of seniors. 

The new law requires Medicare to start negotiating the price of certain drugs, caps seniors’ annual out-of-pocket costs for prescription drugs in Medicare Part D and limits the cost of insulin to $35 a month in Medicare.

KRLD's John Liddle talked with Bill Sweeney, Senior Vice President of Government Affairs at AARP about how this bill impacts older Americans.
