Medicare Drug Plan Premiums Expected to Climb to $41.33/Month in 2027

The government projects Medicare drug plan premiums at $41.33/month in 2027, up from $36 in 2026. The jump comes from new benefit rules — including a $2,100 cap on what you pay out of pocket — raising plan costs. MarketWatch notes pricey drugs like GLP-1s add pressure. The 2026 dip looks temporary.
