Buried in the recent Social Security and Medicare Trustees' Report were some hints about next year's projected cost-of-living adjustments for Social Security benefits and likely increases in Medicare premiums for 2020.
The fact that the Medicare Part A hospital insurance trust fund is expected to be depleted in 2026 unless Congress acts before then stole the headlines. But the report also revealed that the basic Medicare Part B premium, which helps pay for doctors' fees and outpatient services, is expected to increase by $8.80 to $144.30 a month in 2020.
