Question about project 2025

How will it affect Medicare

Answer

Project 2025 seeks to reduce the availability and affordability of prescription drugs. Medicare, while having made some progress with lowering costs, may be at risk of having many of the benefits that it recently obtained negated under this platform. There are likely to be efforts made to cut Medicare funding and weaken the program, possibly by allowing corporations to use more of their marketing muscle and provide what is commonly referred to as Medicare Advantage to promote alternative and arguably poorer performing Medicare. The aim is to potentially undermine the government’s ability to help disabled people, which is very clear throughout the platform, and in this way also reduce support for the military who suffer many debilitating injuries in the line of service. Project 2025 wants to make sure disabled veterans and people with disabilities generally have access to fewer and more expensive programs. The platform plans to make it more difficult for people to have access to the quality and affordable health care that they need and deserve.
