Mark Miller: 2025年Medicare Part D计划将实施2000美元的自付上限，这将简化保险结构，并为那些过去承担高额药物费用的老年人节省开支。此外，他还讨论了传统医疗保险和医疗优势保险之间的区别，以及在开放注册期间重新评估医疗保险计划的重要性。他建议老年人在做出任何决定之前，仔细审查其现有保险计划的年度变更通知，并利用政府运营的医疗保险计划查找器来探索其他选择。他还解释了新的处方药付款计划，该计划允许将费用分摊到全年，从而提高可预测性和稳定性。最后，他还建议那些医疗优势计划被取消或希望从医疗优势计划转向传统医疗保险的人，应该使用医疗保险计划查找器来寻找替代方案，并注意医疗提供者的网络，以及提前了解医疗补充保险（Medigap）的可用性和成本。
