They would be in the same boat as if the program hadn't been in place for them?

Why not put a plan in with some thresholds and income tests and $465,000,000 - the real number is likely closer to a billion as government math is almost never correct.

It's not as if tracking data on how much money is spent on prescription drugs by residents aged 25 and under would be overly difficult. The number will be disproven fairly easily if it's inaccurate, and if it is over 100% higher as you suggest, I'd say that makes a strong argument for why a program like this is necessary because it would mean people are currently only able to get less than half of the prescription drugs they need because they can't afford it.
