S. 529 proposes an annual limit on cost sharing for covered prescription drugs under specified health plans. This petition asks Congress to advance that approach with clear rules and an updated start date, so patients can better understand their annual exposure.

• An understandable annual limit on covered prescription-drug cost sharing.
• Consistent rules for the qualified and group health plans covered by the legislation.
• Clear explanations of which expenses count and how annual adjustments work.

1. Have Congress consider the proposal and update its effective date before enactment.
2. Have the responsible federal agencies publish implementation and consumer guidance.
3. Require covered plans to explain the benefit and track eligible out-of-pocket spending.

United States Congress

National legislative request to Congress; implementation would depend on enacted text and the agencies responsible for covered health plans.

The introduced version used a 2026 start date that would need updating. A cost-sharing cap is not a cap on every retail drug price, does not require coverage of every medicine, and does not guarantee assistance for uninsured people or lower premiums. It is separate from existing Medicare Part D protections. Signing does not create a benefit.
