In 2012, the basic Medicare Part B premium will rise to $99.90 per
month, up from the current amount of $96.40. But this will be an
apparent reduction for seniors who first enrolled in 2010 or 2011.
Higher Income seniors will still have to pay a significantly larger Part
B premium if their modified adjusted gross incomes for 2010 exceeded
$170,000 for married filing joint taxpayers and $85,000 for single
filing taxpayers.
Furthermore, another burden on Higher Income Seniors will be that they
will also "owe a surcharge on Part D premiums for coverage of their
Prescription drug costs."
