Yes, my monthly Medicare premium is about $460. It is based on prior years earnings and this year 2011 do to a couple unique things I had a couple windfalls that resulted in a high income. That will cause Medicare premiums to be that high for at least two years. I can then apply to have them reduced but it requires SS approved and proof of a lower income. Go to SSA.gov and select Medicare, go to cost and it shows how much you have to pay. And on top of that I still have to buy a Medi-gap policy.
