The Congress granted a 1.7 percent supposed cost of living adjustment for retirees. The amount was due to increases in expenses. Social Security then makes a 5.1 percent increase to be charged for Medicare for all recipients. Well, if inflation was only 1.7 percent where do they get 5.1 percent? The numbers just appear to be made up.
Health care is a part of the cost of living in most peoples minds! Something doesnt smell right in our government figures.
