Yes. Increasing healthcare costs continue - there doesn't seem to be an end. Healthcare costs and healthcare premiums have increased annually at rates higher than overall inflation (CPU/CPI) for many years. Our "leaders" (all parties) continue to let this insanity go on at our cost. I'd plan for continued significant increases in your healthcare costs during retirement - if you end up spending less over time great, but you're better off planning for it. That means your Medicare premium may double again in 5 years. Let your elected leaders know you're sick of this.
