Communism is shared misery.
And yet cancer drugs are not covered under Part D. I believe I’m right on that one.
ONE DRUG impacts the entire system for a few people so ONE company can get paid by the giverment what nobody else can afford to pay them.
I smell a rat and a stinking rotting fish head.
The working poor are getting poorer, thanks to the Biden Bunch.
Now there you go again. Raising taxes on low income people. Let’s Go Brandon!
“.....The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services played down the spike, pointing out that most beneficiaries also collect Social Security benefits and will see a cost-of-living adjustment of 5.9%...”
See! Democrats have answers for everything. Only thing is their answers are always in Bulls-itese. A favored dialect of the mindless morons that comprise that party.
I know you think this is bad, but you ain’t seen nothing yet. I’m 70, not as young as I once was but ready to fight. Let’s Go Brandon.
I don’t give a rats rectum (damned near killed ‘em) how many decades these accountants went to skrool they STILL CANNOT DO MATH !!!!!!
Reminds Me of the witch bookkeeper at a Water Treatment Plant I used to work at. Tried the same crap on Us with Payroll. I told them (Mis-management) that if they did this that I was quitting.
They did so I did.
I told the Operations Crew that she was stealing money from the Water System Corp. Nobody believed Me. 2.5 years later she and the gm had stolen just shy of $1,000,000.00 right under the noses of the Board of Directors. The 2 almost made off with it. The Bank found it during an Internal Audit. The Account was under the Company name but only had 2 names on the paperwork hers and his, no Board Members. As was required there should have been 3 or more Board Members plus the gm and bookkeeper. And the Account had the gm’s home address so the Statement and other paperwork went to him at home.
They lost their jobs but since the funds were never taken out of the Account no theft charges were filed. DAMNED IT !!!
I thought it was set already at $158 for 2022.

You are right on that one.
When I saw the 6 percent raise in SS, I immediately thought ...there goes the deduction for Medicare...up, up and away.
The Indians have become more vocal and influential...only they are the wrong Indians from whom we ALLEDGELY STOLE THE COUNTRY.
I knew they would do this....give a long over due small raise and then over double the medicare tax...even though we’ve been paying for medicare our entire working lives.
Right hand gives, left hand takes away, and then takes away a little bit more.
the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid also sent out bribe letters to every hospital stating that if the use remdesivir they would get another $25,000 per admission...
There is a lifetime cap, don’t know about annual.
Half a million, or a million. Somewhere around there. Medical industry would like to maximize medical spending.
Xiden and the DemComms have a great alibi: he’s affected by Alzheimers...
How can government controlled healthcare under a Brandon administration be trusted to care if elderly Americans become ill other than to view it as a means to an end?
The 5.9% applies to Social Security, the 14.5% applies to Medicare. For the Average Social Security recipient, who receives about $16,000 per year, that means about a $79 monthly increase in SS, partially offset by a $21.60 increase in medicare. (Medicare premiums are means tested, based on total income, so many pay nothing anyway.)
“Damn! That’s a lot out of pocket for one drug. Is there sone sort of yearly max?”
It doesn’t work, so no matter. Just another corrupt FDA favor to Big Pharma.
