Medicare drug subsidy ending raises cost concerns for seniors

The Trump administration is ending a Medicare drug subsidy program that has helped keep premiums low, which could increase out‑of‑pocket costs for many beneficiaries. At the same time, Humana says it will withdraw from several Medicare Advantage markets by 2027, while rising Part D premiums may push seniors toward those plans for drug coverage. In Florida, regulators shut down an assisted living facility after finding multiple health and safety violations, underscoring the importance of oversight in senior housing.
