Both of my in laws take Eliquis. Their Part D cost is over $150 per month each! When they renewed their Part D plan, they asked my wife and I to sit in with their advisor. Not only do they pay that outrageous price, their plan cost went up too. They will be thrilled to find out their cost is going down. Unfortunately, they earn too much to get help from the manufacturer. This is the plight of so many seniors. They saved their whole life just to see the money go for medicine.

More wins for the Democrats!!
