They changed the rules. Seniors got a $1.6 billion bill.

A rebate rule change will cost pensioners $1.6 billion, Yahoo Finance Australia reports.

When politicians change healthcare rules, the costs land on you. At home, Black Health Matters says eight Medicare changes are set for 2027. They could change what is covered and what you pay. Your doctor visit, your prescriptions, and your plan options could all get pricier or thinner, depending on what Washington decides. When they change the rules, you pay.

The Republican president threatened to ban sales by a major employer in Kansas, and workers said he turned his back on them. If leaders are serious about your costs, they will protect seniors’ rebates and keep Medicare steady, not risk jobs or your coverage.

You don’t need to become a Democrat to say no to this. Vote out the people who keep raising your bill.
