Same with Medicare Advantage. We lost a big plan here in Minnesota for 2026, with UCare going away. My wife has switched to the same coverage I have. Our monthly premiums went up a little, but not dramatically. Of course they take the Part B amount every month, but we weren't seeing that either.

Still, there is going to be a slow rise in the cost of all health insurance quite soon. It's a major draw on most people's income. That's going to play strongly in the midterm elections, I believe. Republican legislators are going to have to make some decisions soon.
