Social Security gave me a raise!!!!!

Then Medicare took it away on a 24 percent increase.

Not me or Silver (as yet) but I think it's time we demand that Medicare cannot increase more than 1/2 of what Social Security raises.

I'm not sure yet. When did you get the letter?

If like to know if it is all of us on Medicare or how they pick and choose

Does it have to do with that tax bill?

The tax bill has not even been implemented yet. It can't be that. You know how slowly the wheels of government turn!

My Medicare did not go up and our SS is up. I don't get SS due to laws in Texas and Missouri. I think it's mostly due to the law in Texas since that is where my retirement originates. My teacher retirement super-cedes (sp) any SS.

Hubby gets a small SS check due to the side jobs he's always had.
