So instead of $148+ per month they will be deducting $170+ .. Now, based on the 2023 COLA, how much do you think we'll get to keep of the annual cost of living increase? Answer, less than half.

That is just awful. My Husband is on Social Security and Medicare and it is hard now to keep our Bills paid.

That is so not fair. Last year we got a good raise, but Medicare went up and took part of the raise. I hope they give us a good raise this year if they are going up again. It is hard enough as it is to pay bills because everything has gone up so much.

It is amazing how you can work 30-40 years paying to receive an SS check and the government still stick it to you by deducting $170 out of the check every month. The government gets you while you work and then again after retiring.
