Powers that be know we're getting SS increase

So, they're getting their piece of the pie.

 

My Mutual of Omaha Plan G medicare supplement went up 11 bucks, Silverscript by Atena drug plan went up 7.  Everybody wants to be in the circle, grabbing.

Nonsense.  The COLA has nothing to do with it.  Costs for service providers have gone up.  None of mine have increased.   Eighteen dollars is a small increase.

@SharkE ...  my Mutual of Omaha plan G supplement went UP almost $50 PER MONTH for a monthly payment now over $300.  This has happened the last two years.  They send a letter in September and the new payments begin in October.  This will be my final year with Mutual of Omaha.  I can't take another increase.  They say it is because of medical costs in my zip code.  I am 74 ...
