- peter303 5y ago15% increase, way over inflation. Pre-medicare people have the impression medicare is cheap. But I pay $615 a month because I make more than $91,000 a year, which triggers an income surcharge. My premiums increased $784 (whole year) since last year.
- lotsofpulp 5y agoI assume official inflation figures will always be lower than the growth in my expenses. It is the only possibility due to demographic changes causing greater demand for labor relative to supply, and will allow the government to fulfill its debt obligations (at least nominally). Basically an obfuscated tax, especially for higher earners.
