Since I've been on Medicare I have learned that it hardly covers any new drug at all. Or such a small part that it excludes me from getting any new drug.

Repatha is usually a "prior approval" medication in most Medicare plans. My doctor had to show I failed with at least 2 different statins, had increasing LDL, and either had or was at elevated risk of a heart attack. Now I get it but must pay $135 copay every 12 weeks.
