I don't understand how the plan works. Does the government subsidize CVS/ Well Care. If I do not pay, what is the incentive for CVS and Well Care?

A google search revealed something called a base beneficiary premium for Medicare Part D. It is $36.78 per month, a 6% increase in 2025.
I suspect this is the incentive.
