LAS VEGAS – Today, Congresswoman Susie Lee (NV-03) hosted a senior wellness town hall at the Arioso Senior Apartments to highlight successful efforts to lower health care costs for seniors on Medicare and connect them with local resources.
In 2023, thanks to legislation Lee helped pass, Medicare capped the cost of insulin for beneficiaries at $35 a month. Starting in 2025, Medicare will also begin capping annual out-of-pocket prescription drug costs at $2,000 a year. Medicare has also begun negotiating lower prescription drug prices from big pharmaceutical companies, adding up to a projected $1.5 billion in savings for seniors in the first year of the program alone.
