■ Starting January 1, 2025, there is a Cap on the annual costs of prescription drugs for seniors on Medicare. Democrats passed the bill during COVID with little or no support from Republicans.
■ No senior will pay more than $2,000/year for prescription drugs. This will affect 19 million seniors and save them billions of dollars/year.
■ Democrats also passed a law putting a Cap on monthly costs of insulin for diabetic seniors. Democrats wanted it for all Americans but Republicans refused to cooperate.
■ Clearly, Democrats are the “Party of the Working-Class”. They have a long legacy of legislative benefits for the working class starting with FDR and continuing with the Biden Administration. Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, unemployment benefits, minimum wage laws were all initiated by Democrats while Republicans continue to attack these essential working-class benefits.
■ In contrast, Republicans continue to be the “Party of the Rich”. Led by billionaire Trump and close adviser Elon Musk the wealthiest man on planet earth. Their action plan for 2025 is another HUGE tax cut for the rich with significant reductions in benefits for the working-class.
