Trump announces $100 checks to 20M seniors for Medicare Part B premiums

President Trump announced late Friday that his administration will send nearly $100 checks to over 20 million seniors to help cover Medicare Part B premiums, adding roughly $2 billion to recent promised refunds and rebates. The move, timed a month before the midterm elections, is a direct appeal to a key voting bloc. The announcement is unilateral and lacks legislative approval, raising questions about funding and implementation.
