The Health and Human Services Department's top lawyer has described concerns that the Trump administration's plan to send prescription-drug coupons to seniors could violate election laws, Politico reported.
Though many would receive the coupons after the November 3 presidential election, the Trump administration reportedly wanted to send letters describing the effort to 39 million seniors this week. Trump-administration officials had previously said the plan may violate rules on federal spending and Medicare-related tests, Politico reported.
Charrow reportedly described concerns with the initiative's proximity to the election and told members of the Trump administration to consult the Department of Justice's public integrity section about the plan. Even before Charrow's memo, officials had said the plan may violate rules on federal spending and Medicare-related tests, Politico reported.
Senior Trump-administration officials had said the coupons could provide insight into whether giving Medicare recipients discounts on prescription drugs would lead them to more often take the drugs, Politico reported. Charrow has reportedly suggested sending the coupons to a randomized group of seniors to make the initiative a more valid test, but Trump reportedly wants to send them to more than half of Medicare recipients.
