Still, Congress' deal delivered a walloping tax hike for most workers: the end of a two-year Social Security tax cut. The tax is rising back up to 6.2 percent from 4.2 percent. The increase will cost someone making $50,000 about $1,000 a year and a household with two high-paid workers up to $4,500

Medicare premiums have been steadily rising every year. The monthly premium for Medicare Part B will rise 5% to $104.90 in 2013, up from $99.90. (Medicare Part B pays for outpatient services like doctor visits and medical equipment. Medicare Part B is optional, but most Medicare recipients opt to receive Part B.)
The 1.7% SS COLA is reduced by the Medicare Part B increase. Thus, SS is not keeping up with inflation.
