Seniors will pay less than expected in Medicare Part B premiums next year, the Obama administration announced Thursday. 

Monthly premiums for Medicare Part B, which covers doctors’ visits and outpatient procedures, will increase by $3.50, to $99.90, in 2012. Initially, government forecasters had projected a $10.20 premium bump, to $106.60, in seniors’ monthly fees.
