I only get the basic Medicare. I use the VA, but they've been hitting me with increasing co-pays.

The cost of living adjustment for Social Security will be 1.6% in 2020 for the nearly 69 million people receiving Social Security benefits. This is 43% percent less than the cost-of-living increase of 2.8% that was received this year, 2019.
