It's as simple as the law of gravity. One of the experts on this topic is Tomas Philipson, who specializes in the economics of health care at the Univer- sity of Chicago. He finds that "price controls on prescription drugs would reduce quality of care by reducing the num- ber of better new treatments coming to market." Philipson finds that over the next two decades, the price controls would reduce drug R&D by more than one-half trillion dol- lars. This in turn would result in more than 100 fewer new medicines. Many multiple lives would be lost as a result of these delays in new drugs than the number of Americans who died from COVID-19. The price controls in the Inflation Reduction Act will reduce cancer research by more than five times as much as the Can- cer Moonshot initiative will raise research dollars. In oth- er words, tens of thousands more people are likely to die from curable diseases as a re- sult of these policies. Almost half of the new drug research today is for cancer medicines. Washington has just incentivized investors to pull out. This is especially tragic because most of the wonder cures of the last 50 years have come from Amer- ica, not Europe. And most of those lifesaving cures were developed in private labs, not by the government. And profits are what drive that re- search. Shame on many of the dis- ease groups that refused to speak out against the price controls in the Inflation Re- duction Act. Remember all this the next time you donate $100 or $1,000 to research for cancer, heart disease, Lou Gehrig's disease, epilepsy or Parkinson's disease research. We Americans give. And the government takes away. This is a good way to lose the race for the cure. Stephen Moore is a senior fellow at the Heritage Foun- dation and an economist with FreedomWorks. dian.

It is possible I could leave a year earlier. With that be- ing said, when should I submit paper work to start collecting Social Securi- ty benefits? Is there anything I should know previous to applying that will make sure the process is relatively seamless? Signed: Ready to Retire. Dear Ready to Retire: Social Security recommends you apply for benefits two to three months before you wish your benefit payments to be- gin, but you can apply up to four months prior. When you apply, you will specify your desired benefit-start-month on the application, and that is when your benefits will start. Be aware that Social Securi- ty pays benefits "in arrears," meaning your benefit is paid in the month following the month earned. So, for exam- ple, if you apply for your ben- efits to start in Januar y your Januar y benefit will be paid in Februar y. The exact date of your payment depends on the day of the month you were born – born between the first and 10th of the month, you get your payment on the second Wednesday; born between the 11th and 20th of the month, payment is made on the third Wednesday; born after the 20th of the month your pay- ment will be received in your bank account on the fourth Wednesday of ever y month. You can apply in person, either over the phone or by visiting your local Social Secu- rity office, or you can apply for your benefits online at www. ssa.gov/retire. Applying online is, by far, the most efficient method. To apply online, you will first need to set up your personal "my Social Security" online account which is easy to do at www.ssa.gov/myaccount. I suggest you create your on- line account now, even if you don't plan to claim your SS for a while. Once you have your online account set up, you can see your estimated bene- fit amounts at different ages, which can help you decide when to claim. Since you are still working, you should be aware that if you claim at any time prior to reaching your full retirement age (FRA) you will be subject to Social Security's earn- ings test. If you will be 65 in December 2022 your FRA is 67, and that is the point at which you will get 100 percent of the SS benefit you've earned from a lifetime of working. If you claim any earlier, your benefit will be permanently reduced, and the Social Security "earnings test" will apply. The earnings lim- it for 2023 will be a bit more than the 2022 limit of $19,560. If you are collecting SS and exceed the earnings limit, they will take away benefits equal to $1 for ever y $2 you are over the limit. In the year you reach your FRA (2024) your earnings limit will be about 2½ times more than the normal annual limit and the penalty is less, and once you have reached your FRA there is no longer a limit to how much you can earn. For clarity, you can also wait and claim after your FRA and gain a higher benefit (your benefit will grow up to age 70). So, how can you make the process "relatively seamless?" Create your online "my Social Security" account in advance and verify that your lifetime earnings as recorded by So- cial Security are accurate. Then, when you're ready to claim, simply go to www.ssa. gov/retire and follow the in- structions. The online application pro- cess is quite intuitive, and you should have no trouble even if you have limited computer skills. Social Security will con- tact you if they need more in- formation after you apply on- line. Of course, you can also apply whenever you're ready by calling Social Security to make an appointment to apply over the phone but applying online is much more efficient.
