Medicare 2025 Discussion

[SKATA]

For us retired folks. Time to bring up the 2025 increases in Medicare costs. Here is what I uncovered this week:

* My Medicare Part "D" costs are going from $19.90 per month to $59.90 per month. The tier 1 & 2 pricing doubled. I only have three generic prescriptions per month.
* My Medicare gap is going to increase $414.52 per year.
* Medicare Part "B" will increase $132 per year.
* SS will increase 2.5% for next year.

I will have to shop around for another Part "D" program. No much else I can change. I have already contacted Senator Langford and Congresswomen Bice offices.

Does the increases have anything to do with all the illegal invaders in our country getting free health care ???

Thank your Congress critters for the Bipartisan Inflation Reduction Act.

Yep. And they sold it as only $2,000 out-of-pocket. My out-of-pocket costs for next year increased $1,546.52 for both my wife and myself. What a crock !

Haven’t paid attention.

Are we about to get it in the chit chute?

I've heard nothing is for free, so I guess somebody gotta pay

Why is your "gap" insurance $414? You should shop that out.

The info will never get to the right people, but Harris was the deciding vote on the IRA.

I’m sure it does some but the big hit is “Obama-Care” aka The Affordable Care Act. When that socialist implemented that our medical insurance costs tripled at work. As previously stated someone has to pay for those that aren’t. 🤬🤬🤬

FWIW, you used to be able to put your formulary, or in your case, a lack of one, in the medicare website and it would shoot out several options cheapest to most expensive.
