For some of us on SS, that premium represents 10% +_ of our monthly check. $120 a month is is over 11% of my check each month. I never applied for part B or Part D.

The last raise we got represented $39 to me & the prior amount ws frozen for 3 years. The cost of my propane alone has eaten up that increase by 300%.

Well, what about Medicare Advantage plans (part C)?
I think they require part B participation ($100/mo), but some Advantage plans cost very little, some are actually free and some include Part D coverage.
