Vermont to cut medical aid for the poor in 1970
Vermont plans drastic cuts in medical assistance for the poor in fiscal 1970 to close a $1.7 million deficit in the Social Welfare Department. Welfare Commissioner John Wackerman said a $569,000 reduction in medical payments is proposed, with other options and potential supplemental funding to be considered. He warned additional welfare programs may suffer and noted a separate $1.5 million projected deficit for general assistance hospital care in 1970. The department faces political pressure and an ongoing inquiry into rising welfare costs.
