Change the system. Make the increase the same across the board. $20.00 a month OR based on another inflation formula....whichever is greater. It would be the same to a poor person as it is to a rich one.

Also you need a minimum.

Of course, the last time there was a decent raise...I got $16 a month...and the Medicare Part B increase took $15 of it. Obviously...another flaw.

Been noticing SS raises vs. Medicare hikes for some time - invariably the raises are negated by the hikes.

Seems like the hikes will be higher than the raises this coming year....
