This increase also applies to social security and CSRS recipients. Wow due to increase in Medicare premiums, my Social security check will increase by a huge $5. That amounts to an insult to me when Congress and illegal constantly get more than retirees.

Social Security recipients also get 2% cost-of-living increase effective next month.
Seems like the first increase since Obama was elected the first time.

“Smoke and mirrors. We wont see that money. Our Tricare premiums have also gone up so our COLA raise goes straight to Tricare. So in all reality we got a net raise of zero%.”
What is a Tricare premium? I’ve been retired for 15 years and haven’t ever paid a premium for Tricare...
Or are you talking about that HMO scam that was thrust upon us as part of Hillarycare back in the 90s?

2% raise on my Social Security but since Medicare went up ...my monthly amount remains the same. Not even a dime extra

No doubts some homeopathics are useful - some effect cure and some 'cover up symptoms" (which is what a host of medicines do - relieve symptoms while your body fights the invaders.
Not saying they don't have some use - saying that they are being over-hyped to the naive the same as all the "organic" crap so they feel good spending a lot of unnecessary cash with dubious benefits for the constant outlay.

Addendum to above - naturopathic approach isn’t much different than homeopathic in the “substances” used - the body is an amazing creation and we constantly try to outdo it or claim we can outdo it.
