The Cost of Medicare Part B is Still Delayed, but Expect a Substantial Increase - Grada3.com
Due to the government shutdown, the release of the actual increase for Medicare Part B in 2026 is still delayed. The current estimate is still expecting it to increase from the current premium of $185 to $206.50. An increase of $21.50. This is the highest increase since 2022, when it increased by $21.60! The cost-of-living increase has been released and is 2.8% next year, resulting in an increase of $56 for the average Social Security benefit of $2,000, only increasing it by $34.50
