Saturday

We are in a higher than basic category but not one that should result in that high an increase..
I took an accumulated retirement benefit that had to be taxed as income but it wasn't that much.
I'm going to need to look over our returns and check with the senior services people who helped us select the right plans a couple years ago-- Supplement; not Advantage, etc.

Thanks.

My Medicare supplement Emile Saturday #13

Yeah, that "salary" probably adds less than a dollar a year to premiums. You could go to the cheapest Supplement. Silent Type Saturday #18
