- →Medicare negotiations — The Inflation Reduction Act allows Medicare to negotiate drug prices. New negotiated prices take effect in 2026 for the first 10 drugs.
- →Medicaid unwinding — States are still redetermining eligibility for millions after the COVID-era continuous enrollment ended in 2023. If you receive Medicaid, keep your contact information updated.
