Question about project 2025

Will it impact Medicare?

Answer

The playbook calls for significant cuts to programs like Medicare, as it seeks to undo the changes made by the current administration that have given Medicare the ability to negotiate prescription drug prices. Many experts have predicted this will have a huge negative impact on millions of people, especially disabled people, people of color, and the elderly, who will lose access to lifesaving medications or have their price increased dramatically. Medicare advantage programs, which have already proven to be less effective for a great deal of people, are a strong component of the "Mandate for Leadership", so more of these will be encouraged, and the current protections to push people to stick with Medicare will likely be lessened. Project 2025 envisions significant cuts to government programs like Medicare.
