Medicare premium increases and the PP & ACA Act.

A close friend passed along this tidbit:
=========================================
MEDICARE
Look clearly at the 2014 rate compared to the 2013 rate.
For those of you who are on Medicare, read the following. It's short, but
important and you probably haven't heard about it in the Mainstream News:
"The per person Medicare Insurance Premium will increase from the present
Monthly Fee of $96.40, rising to:
$104.20 in 2012
$120.20 in 2013
And
$247.00 in 2014."
These are Provisions incorporated in the Obamacare Legislation, purposely
delayed so as not to confuse the 2012 Re-Election Campaigns. Send this to
all Seniors that you know, so they will know who's throwing them under the
bus.
=============================================
Anyone have resources or references to corroborate or disprove this report? I must say that it is entirely believable, whether true or not. Just imagine where the premiums will be once reality sets in.
My Medicare premium is already higher than the posted numbers because of my earnings. I'm guessing there will be a more significant difference in premiums for seniors who choose to work past age 65.
