    I'm thrilled!!!

    Today I got my "official" notification from Uncle Sam, of my 1.7% increase in my Social Security check for 2013. Of course it then went on to inform me of the increase in my Medicare premium too. What it boils down to, is that I will see a $19 increase per month over what I was getting in 2012. But not so fast - I can't enjoy that increase for long, since come April, I have a $12 per month increase in my supplemental healthcare insurance premium. WOW - now it's down to a big, gigantic, whopping $7 per month extra that I can splurge with. And since I am now on 2 rather expensive (IMO) prescriptions that I wasn't on before, and I don't carry insurance for prescription coverage - then I'm in the hole - big time!

    Life is grand!!!

    They already are generic - could hardly believe that one of them is still so pricey even as generic.

    I'll be going back to using a Canadian (legit) pharmacy and saving a nice chunk of change by doing it. Some years back I used them for a pricey med that I had to take. Our government still hasn't made it illegal to buy from Canadian pharmacies - thank goodness!

    I got my notice of the "big increase" too. I do have coverage (Plan D) so my meds (generic) are covered. I'm so excited I've
    already started planning my Winter trip to the South Seas.

    $31???? How do you rate??? Or is it that you're not on Medicare since you're not 65 yet?
