SURPRISE, seniors! Medicare premiums to rise AGAIN! 12%+

http://news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/ap/20050326/ap_on_go_ot/medicare_premiums

WASHINGTON - Senior citizens can expect at least a 12 percent increase in their Medicare premiums for doctor visits next year, and that could rise even higher if physician reimbursements aren't reduced.

As if I'm not scared enough about all this.....

This must be my Hell, but I don't know what I did to deserve it.

2. and the total is during Bush's administration?

I am not sure.

Anybody know? I thought it was something like a 50% hike over his reign so far.

Keep it up and I will get no SS money at all. What to buy food with?

How to heat the house.

5. Make that seniors, the disabled,

and I guess kids on medicare because a parent died.

Are they not mentioned because this does not apply to them? or because it sounds even nastier than when you only mention slashing away at Gran and gramps?
