This blog used to be about politics. Not so much anymore as I have worked through my fascination with that subject. It now seems appropriate that with a new president and the end of the Bush nightmare that I move on to new subjects that are more in line with my current interests. I may still occasionally express an opinion about political matters but for the most part I will be commenting on music, photography and personal observations. Thank you for reading.

Medicare Premiums To Rise By 17.5% (washingtonpost.com):
"As most Americans began the Labor Day holiday weekend, federal health officials held a late-afternoon briefing to announce that the 42 million disabled and elderly Medicare beneficiaries will be hit with the largest premium increase in 15 years."


This one is obvious...

In real terms this means that these elderly and disabled will shell out an addition $218 this year to help offset the rising cost of health care. I like the term "transfer of burden".

Q: Who are more likely to depend on Medicare?
