New Data Shows Affordable Care Act Helped Seniors Save $8.9 Billion on Prescription Drugs Nationwide

Washington, DC—(ENEWSPF)—November 26, 2013. Seniors and people with disabilities with Medicare prescription drug plan coverage saved $8.9 billion to date on their prescription drugs thanks to the Affordable Care Act, according to new data released today by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS).  At the same time, these seniors will be free to use more of their Social Security benefit cost of living adjustment on what they choose because the Medicare Part B premium will not increase in 2014, thanks to the health care law’s successful efforts to keep cost growth low.
