Arizona families deserve a health care system that works for everyone--regardless of one’s income or zip code. That starts with reducing prescription drug costs for seniors, capping insulin at just $35 a month, cracking down on fraud and waste in Medicare’s hospice networks, expanding access to quality healthcare services in the Valley, and protecting insurance coverage for pre-existing conditions.

Stanton’s official office page explicitly makes reducing prescription drug costs for seniors a stated priority, matching the promise language closely.

The Inflation Reduction Act’s subtitle on prescription drug pricing reform requires CMS to negotiate the prices of certain prescription drugs under Medicare beginning in 2026 and sets a process for negotiating 10 drugs in 2026, 15 in 2027, 15 in 2028, and 20 in 2029 and beyond.

This enacted law is the core federal policy that reduced seniors’ prescription drug costs through Medicare negotiation and other Medicare drug changes.

CMS announced negotiated prices for 10 drugs under Medicare Part D that will go into effect beginning January 1, 2026, and said projected savings for people with Medicare Part D coverage would be an estimated $1.5 billion.

By 2026, the policy produced concrete lower prices for seniors on Medicare, showing that Stanton-backed drug-cost reductions were implemented rather than merely proposed.

"With today’s vote, Congress has delivered on two long-kept promises: to cut drug costs for families and seniors... I have pushed hard to allow Medicare to use its negotiating power to lower prescription drug prices since my first day in Congress."

Stanton himself framed the law as delivering on the promise to cut drug costs for seniors, and described his sustained advocacy for Medicare negotiation.
