In this Wall Street Journal article by Elizabeth O'Brien it infers while things are far from being set in stone quite yet, some of the possible proposals for change include beneficiaries with the more comprehensive Medicare Supplement Plans (like Plans C and Plan F) to pay additional taxes. Other proposals could include beneficiaries having to pay more towards out-of-pocket expenses to reduce overall Medicare spending. The theory is if patients have more "skin in the game" in the form of having to contribute more towards their medical expenses, they will be less likely to go to the doctor and have elective surgeries, etc. To read more click link below.

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.
