Medicare in flux as Kennedy bill discussed in Senate
Health experts warn the Kennedy comprehensive health bill could cost $57 billion for fiscal 1974 and rise thereafter. The plan would fund expanded care by payroll tax rises of 1 percent for workers and 3 percent for employers, plus general revenues. Defenders say current spending near $75 billion in 1971 could shift from private to public via taxes, while opposition notes tax burdens amid a rising Medicare base.
