whelp the medicare trustees were wrong.very wrong. The standard medicare premium is going up to $170.10 a month, a 14.5% increase, and the annual deductible is going up to $233, up from the current $203, which is a 14.7% increase. The cost of living raise is going to be only 5.9%. The cost of a single new alzheimers drug, 56,000 a year, is being cited as the reason for about half of the increases.

Every year they send this out, don't they? No telling when it will arrive but it will probably come along eventually.

Mail is slow this time of year..

It can be found on the SSA and/or Medicare gov websites.
Or if you have signed up for online SS/Medicare account...

I've found it useful to be signed up there. The security safeguards there make it really difficult to log in even though you're registered. Be prepared to jump through quite a few hoops every time you visit the site.

I'm sure that having that much security is a really good idea though.

There are reports yesterday that Biogen halved the price of the Alzheimer's drug that fueled half of the increase in the medicare premium and deductible for 2022, to $28,200. of course there will be no rollback of the announced medicare increases though there should be.
