What it does
The Capping Prescription Costs Act of 2025 would limit annual out-of-pocket cost-sharing for prescription drugs under qualified health plans, group health plans, and related insurance coverage to $2,000 per individual or $4,000 per family starting in 2026, with future adjustments tied to medical inflation and rounded to the nearest $5 increment. The bill amends the Affordable Care Act, Public Health Service Act, Employee Retirement Income Security Act, and Internal Revenue Code to enforce these caps across private and employer-sponsored health plans. The provisions would take effect for plan years beginning on or after January 1, 2026.
