This will mainly affect upper incomes ( married with AGI's above $170,000 and singles over $85,000) who pay a stiff surtax on top of the basic Part B premium. Lower income folk who are already on the rolls will continue to pay $96.40 a month. They avoid the price hike, thanks to a rule that bars a cut in Social Security benefits solely on account of a PArt B premium increase. the rule comes into play in 2010 because the Social Security tustees project that benefits will not go up next year.
