My wife and I have United health care supplements and she also has part D prescriptions and traditional medicare. The part D prescription plan went from $64.40 to $80.60 on January 1, no warning about this and I see that from 2024 to2029 these plans can't increase more than 6%, this is pure price gouging at its best to hit an increase by that much. This is about the same as insider trading.  I am thinking of doing away with AARP as they always say they are for the seniors but this proves they go along with price gouging and insider trading, I guess they are right up there with the Justice dept  and FBI with unfair practices. Too bad I always thought AARP United Healthcare was the way to go.

    Look at all the benefit changes that is taking place in the Part D Medicare Prescription Drug Program - yes, higher premium will offset some of these important benefit changes.  Isn't that the way it always is - GET MORE; PAY MORE.

    She may be able to change to a different drug plan - if not now - later.
