CMS Administration Seema Verma: ‘President Trump Is the Great Protector of the Medicare Program’

RUSH EXCERPT:

VERMA: “President Trump is the great protector of the Medicare program and the executive order was all about demonstrating his vision to protect and secure the Medicare program. And he is building on the tremendous success we’ve already had with the program. President Trump’s Medicare program is putting money back into the pockets of seniors. We’ve lowered out-of-pocket costs for drugs and doctor’s visits and last week announced the Medicare advantage rates. Historic lows. 28% decrease, a 13-year low. All his efforts on drug pricing are also working because the part D premiums have gone down. 13% decrease overall. And these are seven-year lows. This demonstrates all the great work that the president has done to strengthen and protect Medicare program.”
