Vermont senator seeks to raise medical aid age limit
Chittenden County Senator John O'Brien proposes ending the 65 year age cap for medical care in Vermont. The plan would cost about 300000 dollars in state welfare funds over two years and attract 600000 dollars in federal matching funds, with higher income limits for eligibility. The measure would allow welfare recipients of all ages to use funds for medical expenses, including dentistry, and mirrors a similar Kerr Mills federal amendment by Representative Wilbur Mills.
