Hasan: The great irony is of course that Donald Trump is the son of an immigrant. The grandson of an immigrant and married to an immigrant. In fact two of his three wives were immigrants, proving yet again that immigrants will do the jobs that even Americans are not willing to do.

Medicare premiums are expected to rise by a near record dollar amount next year and eat a chunk of the Social Security cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) older Americans may receive. IRMAA can more than double the standard monthly premium for health coverage and almost double the drug premium.
