Medicare Savings Program, Property Tax Workoff & City Savings for Older Adults July 2024 – A Column by Mayor Michelle Wu
I’m excited to let you know about two important programs that help our older residents save more money: The first is the Medicare Savings Program (MSP)—which now offers more savings to more residents.

And, on top of that, the amount of money you could save on Medicare-related costs like premiums, copays, and prescriptions has increased as well—from $2,500 a year to $3,000.

Thinking Pink with Peach PRC
All the Boston cool kids packed into a nearly sold-out Royale to see Peach PRC and Terror Jr do their thing.

It’s no surprise that the energy was electric; this is Peach’s first headlining North American tour after the breakout TikTok star went viral for hits including “God is a Freak” and “Secret”.
