What this bill would do

This bill requires the Secretary of Health and Human Services to keep the Part D Premium Stabilization Demonstration going under the Medicare program. It states that the program must continue for the years 2027, 2028, and 2029 in a way that is a lot like how it was run in 2026. The bill also requires this demonstration to continue for 2030 and later years unless the Secretary decides that ending it will not cause premium increases for people in a Part D prescription drug plan. Additionally, the Secretary must put out revised guidance with the operating rules for 2027 within 30 days of the bill being enacted.
