THE STANDARD MEDICARE PREMIUM FOR 2012 IS 99.90 PER MONTH. FOR THOSE ON SOCIAL SECURITY IT IS DEDUCTED EACH MONTH FROM THE SS PAYMENT THEY RECEIVE. UNTIL 2010, THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN MY DEDUCTION 99.90. HOWEVER ONE PROVISION IN OBAMACARE CHANGED THAT AND NOW BASES THE PREMIUM ON INCOME, THAT MAKES MY PREMIUM $199.80 PER MONTH. IN ADDITION THERE IS AN ADDITIONAL PENALTY RELATED TO PART D FOR PRESCRIPTION DRUG PLANS AND THAT ADDS AN ADDITIONAL 29.90 PER MONTH. NOW MY PREMIUM IS $229.70 PER MONTH. SO INSTEAD OF MY SOCIAL SECURITY INCOME GOING UP IN 2012 AS IT WILL FOR SOME PEOPLE, MINE WILL GO DOWN BY $77.00 PER MONTH. SO FAR I HAVE NOT HEARD OF ANY COST FOR HEALTH CARE GOING DOWN, BUT MANY THINGS ARE GOING UP. DON'T FORGET THE 3% TAX ON MEDICAL EQUIPMENT. OBAMA CARE IS THE WORSE PONZI SCHEME EVER FOISTED ON AMERICANS AND IT IS ONLY GOING TO WORSE. KEEP THIS IN MIND AS THE SUPREME COURT BEGINS DELIBERATING ON THE CONSTITUTIONALITY OF OBAMACARE.
REGARDING AARP THE FIRST OF THE CARLSON CLAN TO TURN 50 WILL DO SO THIS TEAR(2012) FIFTY IS THE AGE AARP BEGINS SENDING SOLICITATIONS TO JOIN THE ORGANIZATION. I JOINED IT SHORTLY AFTER I TURNED 50 BUT I CANCELED IT THE NEXT YEAR. AARP IS NOTHING BUT A FUNDRAISER FOR THEMSELVES. THEY SELL FAR MORE PRODUCTS,. (INSURANCE, GADGETS, ETC) THAN ANY LOBBYING THEY DO ON BEHALF OF SENIOR CITIZENS. AARP ENDORSED CLINTONCARE BACK IN 1992 OR 1993. THEY DID THAT FOR A PLAN PREPARED IN COMPLETE SECRECY,WAS EXTREMELY COSTLY AND LIKE OBAMACARE WOULD HAVE MADE THE ALREADY TOO BIG GOVERNMENT BIGGER. BEAR THIS IN MIND WHEN THE AARP SOLICITATIONS START ARRIVING IN YOUR MAIL!
