house 05/29/2025 - 119th Congress
We’re working to make Medicare Part B penalties fairer by capping the late enrollment penalty and ensuring that people aren’t penalized for times when they had COBRA, retiree, or VA coverage. Our goal is to ease the financial burden for those who transition between different health coverages.

So now skipping enrollment costs less? Next thing you know, we’re paying people NOT to plan ahead. This bill turns penalties into a taxpayer-funded participation trophy.

Excluding VA coverage from penalties sounds nice—until it becomes a loophole for endless delays. We should reward responsibility, not procrastination.

A special enrollment period is neat, but will it confuse folks further? Simplifying rules and cutting penalties sounds good—but only if it’s clearly explained.

About time we cut some slack for veterans and retirees; this bill says 'thank you' where it counts—in savings. Taking the sting out of Medicare penalties? That’s actual progress.

Excluding COBRA and VA coverage from penalties is practical, but how will this impact Medicare’s bottom line? It’s a good tweak, just hoping it’s balanced and sustainable.

Finally, a bill that stops punishing folks for having a gap in coverage—healthcare shouldn't be a trapdoor! Medicare penalties shouldn’t feel like a bank loan shark’s handshake.

Limiting penalties makes sense, but is 15% the sweet spot or just a softer slap? Seems like a fair middle ground between fairness and fiscal responsibility.

Lowering penalties just chips away at Medicare’s financial discipline. Why soften rules that keep the system solvent? Everyone should pay their fair share on time.

This law gives people breathing room instead of penalties—because healthcare access shouldn’t be a punishment game. When you’ve done your part, the government shouldn’t nickel-and-dime you into hardship.
