The Wall Street Journal (2/22, Tergesen, Subscription Publication) reports that beginning in 2019, Medicare beneficiaries with high incomes must pay a larger share of their medical costs. This article says this is another attempt to transfer more Medicare costs to the wealthiest seniors. The piece adds that as of next year, beneficiaries who have incomes of $500,000 or more and couples with the income of &750,000 or more will be placed into a new category and asked to pay 85% of what their parts B and D benefits cost. At present, they are paying 80% of those costs.
