The question I have for you more seasoned folks is, have any of you been on the edge of income where you paid a particular price for medicare one year and then more the next year due to a spike in your income, and then the cost of medicare went back down again the next year because the spike in your income may have been just a one-time thing?

I'm not talking about the government changing the costs, but rather where your individual situation was the catalyst.

Thank you in advance for your informed answers.

That is exactly how it works. The first income point is $179,000 where if you make more than that your Medicare doubles. If the next year you make less than that it will go back down.
