Retirees who are facing big increases in premiums (Both Medicare itself along with premiums from the insurance companies that provide advantage plans or Medigap plans).

I am facing an increase From $185 to 202.90 for the medicare base premium
In addition, I am now faced with increase of $50 to go from a $0 Insurance company premium to a $50 premium if I want to maintain the same level of coverage.
If I decide to stay with $0 added on premium from the actual insurance company, then my copays go up and I lose dental coverage that normally included X-rays and restorative care.

Ridiculous.
