@jbuchana.bsky.socialMedicare has is now taking out more from our SS checks. One of our two Medicare Advantage choices (United) is now charging a $55/mo premium on top of that $209/mo! Medicare is not getting cheaper, and it's getting harder to find any choices. It's all about the profit. United's got it locked in.
