1. La Ley de Reducción de la Inflación (IRA) y la Negociación de Precios de Medicamentos.
La Ley de Reducción de la Inflación (IRA), firmada por el Presidente Biden en 2022, otorgó a Medicare la autoridad sin precedentes para negociar directamente los precios de ciertos medicamentos de alto costo. Esta medida, que no contó con apoyo republicano, busca reducir los gastos en medicamentos y ya ha comenzado a mostrar resultados con la negociación de los primeros lotes de fármacos.
- The ability of medicare to negotiate drug prices was part of bidens inflation reduction act.
- Under bidens inflation reduction act, the price of 10 drugs negotiated by medicare for part d and ma recipients will be reduced in 2026.
- Biden got the inflation reduction act passed which allowed medicare and medicaid to negotiate with pharma companies over price. Thats what happens with the health services of almost all other countries. Thats why their prices are cheaper. All republicans voted against it.
- The price cuts come through the medicare drug price negotiation program created under the inflation reduction act, which president joe biden signed into law in 2022. Not trump!
2. Reducción de Costos para Beneficiarios de Medicare.
Gracias a la IRA, los beneficiarios de Medicare están experimentando y experimentarán ahorros sustanciales. Esto incluye la reducción de precios para medicamentos específicos, la limitación del costo de la insulina a $35 mensuales y un tope anual en los gastos de bolsillo para medicamentos recetados.
- I know ive been saving almost 200 a month on my husbands many prescriptions this year thanks to that.
- As part of the inflation reduction act, the biden administration successfully capped insulin copays for insured patients, and excluded the drug from deductibles.
- One of the reasons to like the inflation reduction act, effective in 2026, signed by pres. Joe biden, the med eloquis,that many rely on for life, ie. My husband, lowered by 50. From 680.00 for a 30 day supply to 340.00 for a 30 day supply.
- My parents couldnt figure out why their prescriptions were suddenly being covered at 100. Turns out old senile joe, as part of the inflation reduction act, capped out-of-pocket prescription costs for people on medicare at 2k.
3. El Debate Político y la Atribución de Créditos.
La implementación de las disposiciones de la IRA ha generado una fuerte disputa política, con la administración Trump intentando atribuirse el mérito de las reducciones de precios de medicamentos que fueron posibles gracias a la legislación de Biden, aprobada sin votos republicanos. Los demócratas critican estos intentos de "tomar crédito" por políticas a las que se opusieron.
- Democrats should not allow republicans to take credit for it.
- Once again the trump administration claiming credit for things that were done under the biden administration.
- Didnt trump just make a big announcement from the oval office about drug prescription prices that he himself is bringing down a bunch of it, just the other day? when if you look up joe bidens inflation reduction act that he signed, it had a plethora of drug prices lowering starting in 26.
- The trump administration using the provisions of the inflation reduction act to lower the prices of semiglutides is shrewd. It will also be very popular since private insurance has balked at the price, limiting use. If the media were responsible theyd note that is a biden policy which allows this.
- The lower price drugs in 2026 will be the result of bidens inflation reduction act, not anything trump has done. Theyre just preparing to take credit for it.
4. Impacto y Futuro de la IRA en la Industria Farmacéutica.
La IRA no solo afecta a los pacientes, sino que también está reconfigurando la industria farmacéutica. Aunque algunos argumentan que podría desincentivar la innovación, otros estudios sugieren que el esfuerzo de investigación y desarrollo no ha disminuido. La ley también incluye mecanismos para penalizar a las empresas que aumenten los precios más rápido que la inflación y se espera que continúe expandiendo las negociaciones a más medicamentos en el futuro.
- The inflation reduction act continues to prove if we want to cut drug prices then negotiated prices is where we need to move to.
- Trumprx isnt a solution, its a distraction. Democrats passed the inflation reduction act, allowing medicare to negotiate drug prices for the first time, while trump is gutting nih the national cancer institute. This will kill innovation while most americans wont pay any less under this plan.
- We show that the evidence does not support the idea that rd effort has declined as a result of the inflation reduction act. In fact the evidence suggests that if anything, it has increased.
- The inflation reduction act ira allows medicare to defer negotiation for drugs with expected biosimilar competition within 2 years of selection, but this provision may unintentionally reduce long-term savings according to new research from cevr.
- Drug companies have hired over 500 lobbyists this year to gut the inflation reduction acts drug price negotiation provisions.
