Even if they give us more money, if they raise medicare, poof!!! there goes the money.

We can't win. I knew they would do this. Now in 2012, he'll run again and his campaign will be "See?? I am there for the seniors"

A few months ago we were worried if we were going to get paid or not. Now they are talking about raises. Makes no sense,but I'm not complaining.

here's a question about the upcoming SS raise
 
Is it for everyone on SSI & SSD?
When I first heard it on the news; they stated it was for the senior citizens; so I didn't know. Ty.

The only question remaining-How much will Medicare increase in 2012? We should know sometime this week.

untilthebell 10-23-2011 07:14 PM
Likely 3-5 %-lol. Somehow this will all even out.

I heard it's going to go to $114.00.

But don't quote me on that.

One never knows.

Good News. According to USA Today-The government today announced a small Medicare increase-going from 96.40 to 99.90. Cool.
