AARP New York hosted this Access Live event to discuss the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 and how it aims to lower the cost of prescription drugs. The event featured US Representative Hakeem Jeffries, who explained how the historic legislation allows Medicare to negotiate drug prices and caps out-of-pocket prescription costs for seniors. Callers inquired about when the legislation will take effect, which prescriptions will be affected, and what is being done to protect Medicare and Social Security.
