Payroll Tax Increase Aims to Fund Health Care Plan
Washington reports a proposed health care package totaling 2.3 billion with about 600 million in the regular budget. The plan, advanced by President Johnson allies and Rep. Byrnes, includes a payroll tax funded hospitalization and nursing home segment and an optional major medical insurance. Retired workers could join by paying 3 dollars monthly from Social Security with government matching, while Social Security benefits would rise to protect cash income. The plan also would reduce personal exemptions for higher earners to recoup costs, with no effect on those paying no tax or under certain income thresholds.
