What a ride these four years have been.
At today's ceremony, I compared it to the spinning teacups ride I would go on with my daughters, spinning the wheel faster and smiling – because even the hard times are enjoyable when you have a mission. We have delivered on our mission.

Medicare has reached agreements with manufacturers of all 10 drugs selected for drug price negotiation.
That means the prices of these ten drugs will be cut 40% to 80%.
And folks, this is only the first ten.
We're not stopping here.

@POTUS, @VP & I announced that we completed the first-ever Medicare Part D drug negotiations.
We're putting money back in the pockets of older Americans & people with disabilities — instead of Big Pharma.
We'll continue to fight to lower health care costs for all!

The 10 drugs selected for #Medicare negotiation account for billions in taxpayer dollars. Thanks to the #InflationReductionAct, Americans can finally get a better deal.

Thanks to the #InflationReductionAct, people like Martha are saving on their out-of-pocket costs. Come January 2025, this benefit gets even better when everyone with Part D will have their out-of-pocket costs capped at $2,000. youtu.be/GMM05J0QT_A?si=L0Sb…
