  "account": "President Donald Trump's administration has announced a one-time $90 rebate for some Medicare users, according to a White House release. The checks will be sent to approximately 20 million seniors enrolled in Medicare Part B, which covers services such as doctor visits. The standard monthly premium for Medicare Part B is around $203, so the $90 checks would cover nearly half of one month's payment. Eligibility for the rebate excludes those whose premiums are already covered by Medicaid or those who pay an income-related surcharge. The White House stated that the funds for this measure will be drawn from the Medicare Improvement Fund, established in 2008 to finance enhancements to the traditional Medicare program. Seniors interested in checking their eligibility can call 1-800-633-4227, and those who want to track the status of their payment can call 1-800-772-1213.",
  "summary": "Some 20 million people enrolled in Part B are eligible for the payments.",
