January 1 brings many things: new tax deadlines, a Social Security COLA, dogs of the Dow strategies, and, sure, your own resolutions and hopes for the new year. If you're a Medicare recipient, there are even more changes that automatically kick in with the start of the new year.
These changes range from increased coverage to lower prices — and higher premiums. With the new year starting up, you don't want to be caught off guard by these changes, and you definitely don't want to miss out on what your Medicare plan has to offer. Keep in mind, too, that we're in an election year, so there's sure to be a lot of chatter about what candidates say they'd do with Medicare and Social Security.
