I got notice from SS that my check and my wife's check will increase next year BUT my Medicare, my supplement and my drug card will have an increase also. What this means is our combined income drops by $300 a month!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I cannot tell you how incensed I am at this. We now pay over $1000 a month for our Medicare and supplement w/ drug card. I almost puked! Looks like no more Dom Pérignon for us!!!

Yep, it’s built-in poverty. Even more infuriating is learning they give SS benefits to illegals and millions of dead people.
All that money paid out to illegals and no goods cheating the system, should be stopped and the money given back to us via our SSA! My SS was raised a whole 33 dollars after the raise and the increase in Medicare. I have no words for anyone that has not worked and is receiving SS payments. Most of those people get free medical, according to what I've been reading.
You receive supplemental income if you become disabled without having enough work credits to file for SSDI - you do not get Medicare, you receive medicaid, free Rx and much less monthly income. My BIL was on it before he died. He only received $700 monthly back in early 2000's. He died 2015.
