It has never been more clear that our healthcare system is broken, as rising costs and shrinking choices are pushing more Americans out of the health insurance market.
The Medicare trustees report in June found that the Medicare Trust Fund, a key funding source for the program, will run out of money by 2026, threatening the solvency of the program and promising to further eat up tax dollars to cover the shortfall.
Bloomberg recently published an important look at how the first generation of Americans with HIV will soon age into Medicare.
The biggest concern for older people living with HIV is their prescription drug costs.
As I've written about before, there are actionable steps that our elected officials in Washington can take to bring market forces into our healthcare system to increase competition and transparency to bring down prices.
Specifically, CMS should evaluate the Part D model that uses private negotiation to inject competition into the system.
We need action to increase competition and accountability across our healthcare system.
