The summary also highlights that the authors intend to offset some of the cost of the investments by delaying the Medicare Pharmacy Benefit Manager Part D rebate rule ($49 billion), extending the mandatory sequester ($8.7 billion), savings from reducing Medicare spending on discarded medications from large, single-use drug vials ($3 billion), and repurposing COVID-19 relief funds ($205 billion).
