MEDICARE OUGHT TO REFUSE TO PAY FOR ADUHELM. I object to paying an extra $21.60 per month (minimum) in Medicare premiums to cover the costs of the drug that Supposedly Treats Alzheimer's. It has drawn controversy for its price ($56,000 per year --- Now $28,000) and because the FDA approved it despite doubts about its effectiveness.

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services played down the spike, pointing out that most beneficiaries also collect Social Security benefits and will see a cost-of-living adjustment of 5.9% in their 2022 monthly payments, the agency said in a statement.

HOWEVER... THEY FAIL TO CONSIDER THAT EVERYTHING ELSE IS MORE EXPENSIVE THIS YEAR ALSO... LIKE: FOOD, SHELTER and GAS...

and I DID Get a Response from a Citizen: JB Said:

I'm wondering if they followed the law by making half the increase a "contingency." They do not even know yet if that drug will be approved by Medicare.

3. My guess -- just a guess -- is that this 15% increase in the "normal" Part B monthly premium is political chicanery of the worst kind. They are giving us a big hit now so that next year during the 2022 midterm Congressional elections they can announce no increase so you can re-elect the incumbent political hacks.

and I Replied: I'm glad Someone read my Statement... I'm trying to get my rage writing read by someone who actually works in the government... One time I found an employee email list for people that work at the EPA but so far I Have not found any way to contact Medicare... or CMS.gov
