You are right to be cautious. I had a 94 year old aunt whose doctor wanted to put her on a statin. She said no thanks. Drugs certainly have a valuable role, but can be overdone and unless there is good coordination among providers there can be a risk.
I think, like past actions in this area it is unnecessary, it is too complicated, will be underused and when used, not by the people who could most benefit, but higher income Americans, many who don’t need another tax break.
