Referred to the Committee on Energy and Commerce, and in addition to the Committee on Ways and Means, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.
The Medicare Protection Act of 2025 modifies how Medicare calculates premiums for beneficiaries by excluding gains from the sale of a primary home from income calculations. Specifically, the bill amends Medicare's Income-Related Monthly Adjustment Amount (IRMAA) rules—which currently charge higher premiums to higher-income seniors—to exclude the profit from selling a principal residence from this income calculation, but only once per person. The change takes effect on January 1, 2025, and applies going forward. This affects Medicare beneficiaries who sell their homes and would otherwise see their Medicare premiums increase due to the capital gains being counted as income. The bill was introduced by Rep. Tom Kiley and referred to the House Committees on Energy and Commerce and Ways and Means for consideration.
