I noticed this article from The Oregonian regarding changes to for the 250,000 Oregon Medicare Advantage members who are getting their Annual Notice of Change letters regarding their Medicare Advantage Plans. There are a relatively small number (16,000) who are seeing their plans terminated. Some are taking relatively large increases (24,000 are seeing their premiums increase from $121 to $176/month) according to the article. A smaller group (only about 1,000) are seeing a premium increase of more than double (from $90/month to $220/month).
