Original Post:
I read an Associated Press article by Ricardo Alonso-Zaldivar. The article mentioned that due to the 50% drop of the drug Aduhelm, there is good reason for Medicare to reexamine the current 2022 Part B monthly premium of $170.10. The Part B premium was increased from $148.50 a month in 2020. The rate increase was in large part attributed to that new Alzheimer’s drug (Aduhelm) full original price.

Note: Medicare Insurance information can be overwhelming and confusing to many people. As an independent licensed agent I can explain things to you in simple terms so you feel comfortable making a decision. Then I can help you choose and enroll in a plan that you feel fits your needs.
By the way, it doesn’t cost you any more if you enroll in a Medicare Insurance plan through me as an independent agent versus directly with an insurance company either over the phone or via the Internet, since I get paid by the insurance companies for your enrollment. Plus you will have personalized service by a local agent. If you would like my assistance, please call me at 941-404-5334.
By calling this number, I understand I will be directed to a licensed insurance sales agent.
