What This Page Covers, and What It Leaves Out

The one thing the section does: strike January 30, 2026 and insert December 31, 2026 in section 1860D-2(e)(1)(C) of the Social Security Act.

Nothing else. The section is a single sentence.

The section amends the Social Security Act, which is not indexed here, so what a covered part D drug is is not recorded on this site.
