What this bill does
In plain words · AI-written from the official summaryCaps costs for seniors' chronic care drugs
This bill would change how Medicare helps pay for certain drugs people take regularly for ongoing health conditions, like blood sugar regulators and blood thinners. Instead of charging seniors the full price, Medicare would limit what seniors pay for these chronic care drugs, basing costs on the lower negotiated price rather than the full sticker price.
How it affects you
If you're on Medicare and take regular medications for chronic conditions like diabetes or heart disease, your out-of-pocket costs for those drugs could go down. The bill would cap what you pay whether you haven't met your annual deductible yet or you're paying a percentage of costs after that.

Share the Savings with Seniors Act
This bill limits cost-sharing for chronic care drugs under the Medicare prescription drug benefit. Chronic care drugs include blood glucose regulators other than insulin, anticoagulants, and other categories of drugs as specified in the bill.
Specifically, for costs below the annual deductible, the bill caps cost-sharing for chronic care drugs at the net price of the drug (i.e., the negotiated price net of all manufacturer price concessions); for costs above the annual deductible and below the annual out-of-pocket threshold, cost-sharing must be based on a percentage of the drug's net price (if cost-sharing for that drug is tied to the price or cost of the drug).
