Is Medicare becoming more expensive over time, and will it ever be unsustainable?
Answered by 2 licensed agents
Medicare costs have certainly risen over time—Part B premiums went from $144.60 in 2020 to $185 in 2025, and I’ve noticed Part D premiums spiking too, largely due to the Inflation Reduction Act shifting some expenses around—though recent crackdowns on waste, fraud, and abuse, like overpayments and non-qualified services, might temper future hikes compared to past jumps. The program’s sustainability gets questioned as more folks age into it, but I’m optimistic that sharper oversight and drug price caps from the IRA could keep things manageable moving forward.

yes every year the deductibles and the part B premium goes up.
as an unsustainable question that is up to the politicians.
