WASHINGTON (AP) — Senior citizens and the disabled will have to pay a monthly Medicare premium of $88.50 next year for doctor's visits and other services.
The $10.30 increase amounts to 13.2%.
The increase in premiums for Medicare Part B was in line with what government actuaries had been predicting. Even so, the Bush administration tried to lessen the pain of the announcement by touting the new prescription drug benefit that begins Jan. 1."
