6. It will depend on the plan you purchased, and on where you are in losing your purchase discount.

Both of ours went up 24%. I don't have the breakdown between the COLA and the declining discount.

We both have the same plan (G, no silver sneakers - we signed up the first year in which there was not an option for silver sneakers; now it isn't offered with any of their supplement plans. The enrollment discount in the plan we purchased ran over a different age range, and weren't the same percentage as generally available plans. I'd have to dig through my electronic files to sort out how much of the increase is the drop in enrollment discount, and how much is COLA. )

You can't determine everything, since the COLA is tied to unpredictable increases in prices - BUT Ms. Toad Dec 30 #14
