What the source says
Medicare out‑of‑pocket costs declined by $638 million (2.2%) in aggregate in 2025 following the implementation of the Medicare Part D out‑of‑pocket cap; however, costs remain more than $5.3 billion (23%) higher than in 2020, driven by increased volume and shifts in prescription mix.
Checked: the figure 23%is stated in this passage. If it does not match, the extraction is wrong and we want to know.
