Thats according to Yahoo News. The official announcement will come on Wed, Oct. 19th.
How much will Medicare go up? Mine now is 97 dollars,I believe. Weren't they talking 114 dollars total?
Anyways,good too see an increase. I will be able to buy more food the last two weeks of the month.

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.
