According to MedPAC, details of the Part D redesign mean that some enrollees will hit their $2,000 OOP maximum much faster than I realized.
In one example, they show how one could hit the max with just $470 in spending.

HHS announces the next 15 drugs to negotiate under Part D! Great to see this progress. Quite a few cancer treatments, which will mean more savings potential than in the first year's drug list (cancer drugs get limited or no rebates today). Good news for taxpayers and Medicare spending!
