The Medicare premium usually eats up a good chunk of the SS increase. 2022 had a big jump.
The 2023 Medicare premium MIGHT even be lowered, because the 2022 increase was primarily due to an expensive cancer drug cost.
Unlikely.
The COVID premiums paid for [mis]diagonses and mistreatements aka ventilators have been cut off.
The Biomedical-Pharmaceutical complex is still VERY hungry!
Yep, they give a tiny raise to SS folk then they’ll raise Medicare costs. Same old story.
I have read the Medicare premium will not increase next year because it’s was raised too high to cover some alshimer drug that decreased in price..
