Medicare Costs Are Rising in 2026 – How Much More Will You Pay?
Medicare costs are changing again in 2026, and if you’re enrolled in Medicare Part B, Part D, Medicare Advantage, or a Medicare Supplement plan, you could see higher premiums, deductibles, and out-of-pocket costs.
In this video, I break down the Medicare increases for 2026 in a simple way so you can understand what’s going up, why it’s happening, and what you can do to protect your budget.
Here’s what you’ll learn:
👉 How much Medicare Part B premiums and deductibles are expected to increase
👉 Changes to Part D drug plan costs and the prescription drug cap updates
👉 What’s happening to Medicare Advantage premiums, copays, and networks
👉 Why Medigap Plan G and Plan N rates are increasing in many states
👉 The impact of inflation, healthcare costs, and policy changes on Medicare pricing
We’ll also talk about how these changes affect plans from major companies like:
AARP Medicare Supplement (UnitedHealthcare), Humana Medicare, Aetna Medicare, Cigna Medicare, Blue Cross Blue Shield (BCBS), Mutual of Omaha Medigap, Wellcare, HealthSpring, Kaiser Permanente, and Molina Healthcare.
Because pricing is different by location, I’ll also mention how these increases can look in states like:
Texas, Florida, Pennsylvania, New York, California, Tennessee, Georgia, and North Carolina.
