Big Medicare premium hikes next year for some
You may be one of the unlucky older Americans paying sharply higher Medicare costs next year. Part B Medicare premiums are projected to rise by as much as 52% in 2016, but only for 30% of the program’s beneficiaries, according to the program’s annual trustees report. The remaining 70% will see no premium increase at all.
It’s possible that federal officials will find ways to reduce the price hikes. Next year’s premium rates will be made final later in October. Still, a significant increase has to be expected.
