So you agree that illegals are getting money. We are making progress.

Lots of money could be used for Social Security. We could cap aid to Israel, for instance.

No one said they are getting SS. But they are getting money that could used for SS.

Let's put the lying MAGAT crap to bed once and for all: An illegal immigrant CANNOT receive S/S benefits, and an illegal immigrant CANNOT vote. What's more a LEGAL immigrant cannot receive S/S benefits or vote. So why don't you MAGATS stop lying?

The plan right now is to take DB's benefits and give them to an immigrant.
Don't tell him, though.

You can count on higher costs and fewer benefits because of the millions of illegal invaders the Biden/Harris regime has allowed to flood our nation.
If the dimocrats should win big in November the illegals will get even more of your tax dollars than they do now. And of course the invasion will continue and probably escalate.
Last chance to save America Nov 5!

It looks like all plans are going up or being canceled.

I chase the best price every year, and change my provider to whoever has the best plan for the best price. It's not that big of a deal.

The monthly premium for the most popular PDP nationally, Wellcare Value Script, is increasing by $17 in California, from $0.40 to $17.40.
The second most popular PDP, Aetna's SilverScript SmartSaver, will no longer be offered nationwide in 2025. Enrollees in that plan will be switched into Aetna's sole PDP offering for 2025, SilverScript Choice, unless they choose a different plan, and their monthly premium will increase from $18.60 to $53.60, a $35 increase. But enrollees currently in SilverScript Choice will see their premium decrease by $1.60 between 2024 and 2025.
Enrollees in another popular PDP, Humana's Value Rx Plan, will see their premiums increase by $35, from $59 to $94.

The average total Part D premium is projected to decrease by $7.45 in 2025, from $53.95 in 2024 to $46.50 in 2025. These averages reflect the cost of Part D coverage for people with Medicare who pay full premiums. These numbers do not include the over 14 million people with Medicare who have a $0 premium through the Extra Help program (also referred to as the Low-Income Subsidy program). In addition, the Part D premiums paid by people with prescription drug coverage through MA plans may be even less because this Part D average premium does not reflect the Part D premium reductions that MA plans with prescription drug coverage apply using MA rebate dollars to further decrease the cost of prescription drug coverage in joint MA and Part D plans. The average stand-alone Part D plan total premium is projected to decrease from $41.63 in 2024 to $40.00 in 2025 (a decrease of $1.63). After the application of MA rebates, which reflects what people in MA plans with prescription drug coverage will actually pay, the average Part D total premium for MA plans with prescription drug coverage is projected to decrease from $15.56 in 2024 to $13.50 in 2025 (a decrease of $2.06). https://www.cms.gov/newsroo...provements

The increase in premiums was not unexpected. In addition to the $2,000 limit, the law requires insurers to be on the hook for more of the costs once enrollees hit the catastrophic coverage phase above the cap.

With several large insures scaling back the number of customers. A lot of seniors will have to find new Part D plans.
