Senator Paul Calls for Investigation into Medicare Premiums Amid Biden Policies

AMAC Action has welcomed Senator Rand Paul's call for an investigation into the Biden-Harris administration's allocation of taxpayer funds to counter rising Medicare Part D premiums, which have surged due to the Inflation Reduction Act. Senator Paul posits that this financial maneuver could infringe upon the Hatch Act, which restricts the political actions of federal program employees, particularly because the legislation is central to the Biden-Harris campaign narrative. AMAC Action's President, Bob Carlstrom, echoed Paul's sentiment, criticizing the administration's efforts to mask the implications of the new legislation on Medicare premiums, which have seen their largest increase since the program began. With the Medicare Annual Enrollment Period fast approaching, Carlstrom noted that the Biden-Harris administration is attempting to mitigate shock among seniors regarding the premium hikes that follow the policy changes introduced by the Inflation Reduction Act. The Medicare Annual Enrollment Period, which allows seniors to make changes to their Medicare plans, begins on October 15 and extends to December 7, raising further concerns about the timing of these financial maneuvers by the administration.
