Dear Conservatives,
How much of your Social Security benefit do you spend for healthcare costs? If you have average benefits (about $1,100 per month), you probably spend about one-third of it on monthly Medicare premiums and out-of-pocket costs. But if you are in poor health, you probably spend more — much more.
According to a new Healthcare Cost Senior Survey conducted last month by The Senior Citizens League (TSCL), 27% of respondents said they are spending up to $599 a month on healthcare costs. That's 54% of an average Social Security benefit!
