So what? It'll just be taken back in Medicare increases, and income tax. Not even counting the fact that inflation is more than 2.8° anyway!

I started researching Medicare and I am terrified. If it goes up any more, my entire SS checks will be taken. While great to have hospital care my required drugs are more expensive than from previous employers.

Seniors need dental & Vision now more than at any age. A lot can Eve n afford to go let alone pay for procedures or glasses.

Yea!! And any increase will promptly be erased just like last year when my health insurance premiums went up by over $100 per mo. I got less in SS than the year before... sad.

Thank you for all you do

This year's raise has been blown away by cuts to my housing subsidy and food stamps already, more in works, and that's not even counting the price of groceries skyrocketed, increase in phone bill and electricity. I got a raise, need $56 a month to stay at last year's austerity.
