A 90% increase is unconscible for Medicare PartD

[Jacson6]

The is how much my Part D monthly Charge went up for 2025. It was 13.40 per month this year and is now $134 for next year. The only other option that is less is Wellcare which is $0, but most of my drugs are not included. I have VA benefits so I'm switching to the VA with no monthly fee, but a high co-pay.

(Note: I don't know if it is only my area of Central Coast California that has this price increase, so others may not have these distract premium increases.)

1. Big increase in Part D Humana pricing for me. From 73.9 to 108.9. Looking to switch also.

2. Oh god

It took me forever to find one that had my $$$$ meds

3. Many of the victories that have been won for Medicare recipients require a part D to take advantage of

This really pisses me off. Shingles shot not free with regular Medicare as well as other things.

8. so enroll in the absolutely cheapest part D.

All vaccines on the medicare schedule are free with all part d plans, including shingles.

Of course if your didn't enroll in part d when you became eligible you get socked with the stupid permanent penalty.

4. Mine went from about $12

to 43/month. Apparently they are adding on some junk I neither need nor want. I'm going to change plans. I saw Wellcare as well. Wellcare seems to have both good and bad reviews. They also do Medicare Advantage, maybe the bad reviews are for those plans. I'm only on one cheap, old med. My plan B is going to be México. After 4 decades as a registered nurse I have developed an allergy to the US "health care" system.

9. For Wellcare you need to check to see if your drugs are on the formulary

If not then you will have to pay out of pocket or a for similar drug. (Not a generic drug.)

5. Check total cost per year

Limit is supposed to be $2000 including monthly cost plus deductible.

6. 2025 limits

The $2000 limit starts in 2025.

10. 2025 is year original poster is concerned about

7. Part D sucks, but the Biden reform that caps out of pocket at $2000 makes it suck less. NT

11. Me too

My Wellcare part D premium went from 40 cents a month to $17.40.
That's a 43 times increase.
