GF is right about the COLA. It is tied to the CPI and another index called CPI-W. When neither of these increase then there is no COLA. As for the Medicare premium increase this was right from the Medicare website:

Most Medicare beneficiaries will continue to pay the same $96.40 Part B premium amount in 2010. Beneficiaries who currently have the Social Security Administration (SSA) withhold their Part B premium and have incomes of $85,000 or less (or $170,000 or less for joint filers) will not have an increase in their Part B premium for 2010.

For all others, the standard Medicare Part B monthly premium will be $110.50 in 2010, which is a 15% increase over the 2009 premium. The Medicare Part B premium is increasing in 2010 due to possible increases in Part B costs. If your income is above $85,000 (single) or $170,000 (married couple), then your Medicare Part B premium may be higher than $110.50 per month.

So GF is correct for those with lower income levels will not see an increase in 2010 but all those above will. So both of you are partially right and partially wrong.
