My Dad and my Mom 2% raise from Social Security after Medicare copay is 4$

[MattP]

When prices go up how are seniors supposed to handle it when the copay gobbles it up!

1. Guess that means mine will be $2

Huzzah!


Guess I should be grateful it won’t disappear this year.

2. Thats about only way we can look at it. Fortunately, Im still working.

3. My Spouse got the same whopping $2 raise also.

And like you,the Medicare price increase ate the rest.

8. Mine and Mr. Dixie's 2018 monthly checks will be LESS than this years.

The Medicare increase in premiums will put each of us 10.00 less a month.

The only thing saving us is very low expenses at this point in life, but since future premium increases are already baked in over the ext few years, we will continue to go backwards.

10. Have not recieved my SS notice yet.

Most likely will be hit with the same. Noticed several pieces in the PDF posted by Bloomberg,that will smack we SS recipients big time. Those who rely on SS as part of or most of our living expenses,are going to be in the Cat Food Isle once again.

4. What actually got me more pissed off was the increase in the supplemental insurance

That was outrageous!
Considering they only cover the 20% that Medicare doesn’t it really burns my butt that it costs me three times what I pay to Medicare.
Thieves!

7. It is really criminal. Americans are treated so badly compared to other civilized countries. nt

9. Damn straight!

And the idiot republicons just don’t get it!
Maybe when grannie and aunt sue die they might understand.
Or not.

5. More booze, women and movies

for me this year.

[BigmanPigman]

6. Come on man, they are lazy, womanizing freeloaders

who waste their money on booze and expect the Fed Govt to support their lifestyle. At least that is what Hatch and Grassley say.

11. Flaunting your wealth

So gauche.
