This bill would make it easier for some low-income adults to afford their Medicare drug coverage when they turn 65. If you were on Medicaid right before your 65th birthday and your income is below about twice the federal poverty level, you would automatically get extra help paying your Medicare Part D drug plan premiums and copays for a limited time. The exact length of this help would be set by the federal government.

The change would start with plan years beginning on or after January 1, 2027.

Who is affected: People who were enrolled in Medicaid just before turning 65, with incomes below 200% of the federal poverty line.
What changes: These individuals would automatically qualify for extra help with Medicare Part D premiums and cost-sharing for a limited period.
When: Starts with plan years on or after January 1, 2027.
