Medicare Premiums Rise on July First
Basic Medicare medical insurance premiums will increase from 7.20 to 7.70 per month starting July 1. The program helps pay doctor bills and is funded by premiums and general revenues, serving those 65 and over and some disabled under 65. An annual cost review limits premium increases to the prior year’s Social Security rise, which was 6.4 percent in 1976. Information on enrollment is available at Social Security offices, including the Odessa office at 516 First National Bank Building, phone 332-9423.
