2026 Social Security increasing 2.8%, offset entirely by Medicare B increase of 9.7%.

The affordability challenge is quickly becoming an American crisis.

I had a question last week for the Social Security Administration that unfortunately could not be answered via their FAQs. After 2 prior 2 hour attempts and 3 hours and 45 minutes of waiting this time I got a fantastic, capable human on the phone. It should not be this hard! This is where we cut?
