“According to Google ai:
The projected Medicare Part B premium for 2026 is $206.50 per month, a significant increase of $21.50 from the 2025 premium of $185”
So with a 2.8% increase in SS, less the $21.50 increase in Medicare, both myself and the wife see a net increase of $60 each a month in our pocket. $1440 combined less Uncle Sam’s cut is about $1250. Better than going backwards.

True but your net (not counting inflation) is only $24 on a weekly basis.
