Medicare Premiums Stay at $30 in 2013

Great news for seniors! The Medicare premiums for 2013 are projected to remain the same at an average of $30. That’s right, the Department of Health and Human Services issued its estimate not long ago, and Businessweek reported it in an article titled “Medicare Drug Plan Premiums to Stay at $30 in Coming Year.” Indeed, according to the estimate and bids from private insurers, the premiums for Medicare drug plans are expected to hold steady at the average where they stand today. For that matter, keep Medicare in mind as we approach the annual enrollment period that begins October 15.
