JamieRose   Me, too, JamieRose.  I just got a notice that my Medicare premium was going to double for '23 because my tax return showed a larger amount of income than normal.  I balked but then remembered that I inherited from my Mother's passing.  Because it wasn't something tangible like cash, it was a transferring of mutual funds and an IRA into my name that I forgot about because it didn't change my life at all.  My income is way down from my full-time working days, so short of liquidating some of that inheritance, I'm going to have to find a way to pay those premiums this year.    But I love being on Medicare, after having a huge deductible most of my life and paying over $12,000 a year in premiums for the last ten years of my working life.
