## Summary

**This bill would continue the Part D Premium Stabilization Demonstration** to keep Medicare prescription drug premiums more stable for enrollees. - Seniors and Medicare Part D enrollees: The demonstration would run for 2027 through 2029 in a manner substantially similar to 2026, aiming to limit premium increases for beneficiaries. - HHS and CMS: The Secretary would have to issue revised guidance within 30 days after enactment to set the 2027 parameters and would maintain the demonstration for 2030 and later unless termination would not raise premiums. - Prescription drug plans: Plans would operate under the same demonstration terms described in the CMS announcement dated July 29, 2024, which the bill ties to existing statutory authority.
