Here's something Noteworthy in Congress.
The House passed a bill that will eliminate the cost increase for Medicare in 2010. As originally planned, there was to be no COLA for Social Security recipients but there was to be a jump in Medicare Premiums.
However, on September 24, the House passed a bill eliminating that increase. People for whom Social Security provides a tight but doable budget can take a deep sigh and not begin to think about something else they might have to forgo.
While government accounting procedures may say there is no inflation, most people will probably agree that food costs have risen. While gas has come down from its high point, in my town it was still $2.79 yesterday. That's a drop, but it still strains the budget. There are predictions of an extremely cold winter this year accompanied with suggestions that fuel costs will rise this winter. It is a good thing that the Congresswoman who introduced this bill thought to lessen the impact somewhat for Seniors.
Nevada's Democratic Congresswoman, Dina Titus, sponsored the bill, and there were 54 co-sponsors. I emailed the Congresswoman with my thanks.
