Finally, day one of recovery is not as smooth as anticipated...hoping it speeds and pain subsides quick. this morning was fine, till I put my feet down and walked. Last time 3 years ago I dont recall much pain at all. Goes how it goes, so I ride it out.

I had a tele-consult scheduled for today with my Medicare Part D advisor, but she could not login to Medicare (dot) gov. However she did mention that pricing for several Part D plans is increasing. I currently have CIGNA for $16.50/month. For 2026, the price changes to $66.50. Guess it's time to go shopping....

Log-in is still currently unavailable, probably because of the government shutdown. There appears to be a solid consensus that all health insurance rates are going to to go up, just a question of how much. At this rate, the only reliable way to afford healthcare will be to invest in health insurance companies.

I started ACA when there was an income cap and penalty. Then my last 18 months fell into the less than 8% of your MAGI provision. But you are correct... many expect a rise. And, if I read it right, the current subsidies expire at years end, and if not renewed, the old version of ACA still kicks back in.

Could also be the Amazon Web Service going down this morning.

These last 2 years of fires and floods might contribute to rising rates too.

I read that if your AMAGI is less than 4X poverty level, some subsidies would remain. Current subsidies are quite nice, but I am not counting on them...sad.
