Social Security expansion and health insurance on agenda
Peter Edson analyzes how the debate over raising wage deductions for Social Security relates to broader plans for compulsory health and hospital insurance. He notes bipartisan support for extending old age, unemployment, and health coverage to farmers, domestic workers, non profit employees, government workers, and the self employed, with funding via taxes independent of old age rate. The Wagner-Murray-Dingell bill proposed revamping Social Security and extending coverage but faced federalization of unemployment and public employment services. The piece ends recalling the New England Courant’s founding in 1721 and early editor Benjamin Harris’s 1670 licensing trouble.
