Look clearly at the 2014 rate compared to the 2013 rate.

For those of you who are on Medicare, read the following. It's short, but
important and you probably haven't heard about it in the mainstream news:

"The per person Medicare insurance premium will increase from the present
monthly fee of$96.40, rising to:

$104.20 in 2012
$120.20 in 2013
and
$247.00 in 2014."

These are provisions incorporated in the Obama care legislation, purposely
delayed so as not to confuse the 2012 re-election campaigns. Send this to
all seniors that you know, so they will know who's throwing them under the
bus.

Why are you such a blind ignoramus,
Bravo?

And a year ago we also took on a completely fabricated claim that the new health care law would cause monthly Medicare premiums to more than double, to $247, in 2014. That’s not remotely close to the truth. Medicare officials currently predict the actual figure will be $112.10. (See page 229 of the recently released Medicare trustees report.)

Now these two bogus claims have been spliced together in a version that continues to circulate with undiminished vehemence. But two lies don’t make a truth.

This version of the message also tacks on a made-up claim that the health care law is going to drive Medicare premiums to $247 a month in 2014. That’s also false, as we originally reported April 1, 2011, in an article we headlined “Premium Nonsense on Medicare.” And it’s even less true today than it was then, so we’re happy to give a brief update.

The law actually doesn’t change the way Medicare premiums are set. The basic monthly premium is set each year at a level calculated to pay for 25 percent of the cost of the coverage.

The official outlook for premiums comes from Medicare’s chief actuary. It appears on page 229 of the annual report of the Medicare trustees, which was released April 23. And it shows just how far from reality this message is.

The current basic premium for Medicare is $99.90 per month — not $104.20 as the message claims.

And that is currently expected to rise to $109.10 next year — not $120.20 as claimed.

As for 2014 — when the new health care law will supposedly peg the basic rate at $247, according to the email — the system’s actuary currently predicts it will really be $112.10.

That’s less than half the figure the email’s author pulled from his or her imagination. It’s even $5 less than what we reported a year ago, based on what the Medicare actuary was predicting at the time.

Repeating a falsehood might make some people believe it, but it can’t make it true. In this case, a constantly repeated lie has gotten less true.

Did I say you're an idiot?

The chain e-mail claimed that Medicare Part B premiums would increase dramatically in future years because of the health care law supported by President Barack Obama. We couldn’t find evidence to support the e-mail’s numbers. And in fact, most Medicare beneficiaries will only pay $3.50 more a month in 2012. The e-mail’s projection for 2014 seems entirely fabricated. The health care law leaves in place the long-established methods for calculating Medicare Part B premiums. The chain e-mail makes the additional unproved claim that its allegations -- which are false anyway -- were accomplished nefariously and delayed for political purposes. We rate its claims Pants on Fire.

There is nothing sillier than a dumbass relying on chain emails for their "news".
