Kamala Harris is shaking in her boots after bragging about casting the deciding vote for the Inflation Reduction Act, which not only was never designed to reduce inflation but caused a whole lot of harm to Americans. Harris hopes the millions of American Medicare beneficiaries won’t see or understand that the taxpayer subsidies keeping their costs low are only temporary. She wants to keep the bleeding at a minimum to keep her campaign afloat, but the move doesn’t fix the massive problems in our social benefits system. It only exacerbates a problem that won’t matter to her once the election is over and she’s won. But it will matter a lot to Americans who are already suffering under her administration’s economic policies. The Harris/Biden regime took money out of the Medicare Trust Fund to pay for the EV tax credits and now they are taking even more money from the Trust Fund to hide the fact that the cost of the new premiums will skyrocket to pay for the new cost of Medicare Part D to cover the money they already removed.
The new premiums are expected to triple this year and 2025 and 2026 will be even worse. This is due to the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) and the provisions hidden within to pay for its radical liberal agenda, not to mention the fact that it will reduce the amount of time before Medicare becomes insolvent. Seniors lose it altogether. If the voters find out about this before the election, Harris is done.
Huge scandal that Kamala Harris should be asked about immediately.

The last thing Harris needs during an election year is for millions of Americans to have increased monthly costs (with average bids for Part D plans expected to triple) after she voted to pass the IRA using her tie-breaking vote in the Senate. To keep premiums artificially low and help Harris avoid “potential voter backlash,” the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) announced on July 30 that it would be subsidizing the premiums with taxpayer monies, Fox News reported.
CMS enacted the “demonstration project,” which will increase the taxpayer burden “from $30 per recipient per month in 2024 to $142.70 in 2025,” according to Fox. Critics told the outlet the move will likely not “survive legal scrutiny,” but that won’t matter because Harris just needs the premiums to stay low long enough to make it to the Nov. 5 election to avoid voter scrutiny from the over 67 million Americans enrolled in Medicare programs.

Former President Trump advisor Joe Grogan told Fox News Digital in an interview:
“They’ve destroyed part D premiums. I’m not sure it’ll survive legal scrutiny if someone were to sue. Objectively, it shouldn’t be done. It’s just interjecting $5-10 billion of taxpayer dollars while the taxpayers are paying the price 85 days before an election. It’s sickening.”
“This is only going to get worse in 2025, 2026,” Grogan continued. “The program is in a death spiral. They announced a three-year demo. It’s already broken. The demo is going to fail. Premiums are still going to go up.”
“They just want to get through the election. They’re hoping after the election they can face it, but it’s gonna need to be dealt with in the next 12–18 months. They did not believe it would be this bad, and it’s only gonna get worse.”
Grogan isn’t the only one sounding the alarm. Paragon Health Institute, a health research group, called the CMS taxpayer subsidies “a massive bailout to insurers to paper over the increased costs of the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA).” The group said CMS’s plan is a “fake, costly demonstration” for taxpayers, who are expected to bear 75 percent of the increased cost. The other 25 percent will come from the beneficiaries.
Harris hopes the millions of American Medicare beneficiaries won’t see or understand that the taxpayer subsidies keeping their costs low are only temporary. She wants to keep the bleeding at a minimum to keep her campaign afloat, but the move doesn’t fix the massive problems in our social benefits system. It only exacerbates a problem that won’t matter to her once the election is over and she’s won. But it’s going to matter a great deal to Americans who are already suffering under her administration’s economic policies.
