New “Let’s Talk About Medicare” campaign focuses on solutions to improve affordability and predictability for seniors in Part D

Today, we are launching the “Let ’s Talk About Medicare” advertising campaign focused on solutions to improve affordability and predictability for seniors in Medicare Part D. Similar to how the “Let ’s Talk About Cost” campaign opened up a conversation about costs and prescription drug coverage, this campaign builds on the momentum of that larger conversation to facilitate a discussion about solutions to strengthen the Part D program and ensure it fulfills its promise to seniors.For more than a decade, seniors have been able to buy prescription drug coverage through Medicare Part D to meet their health care needs. Thanks to robust competition and choice, the program has been successful for beneficiaries, providing expanded coverage and low and stable premiums. It has also worked well for taxpayers with overall program costs coming in 45 percent lower than initially projected. Today, more than 40 million people are enrolled in Medicare Part D.
