Rate-Cut Call Premature, State Blue Cross Head Says
Peter G. Arles urged lower Blue Cross Blue Shield rates after Medicare passage but Richard C. Brockway, executive director of the Massachusetts Blue Cross Blue Shield organization, said the call is utterly premature because Medicare effects are unclear until July 1, 1966 and the program is being studied nationwide. Brockway noted prior rate approvals already assumed Medicare’s impact and were set to last until its results could be evaluated.

GE Refuses Reopen Pension Pact With IUE and UE
GE will not reopen its five year contracts on pensions and insurance before the September 30 1968 expiration. Negotiators for UE representing 68000 GE employees and independent UE with 10000 workers pressed for a reopener citing Medicare and Social Security changes. GE's Phillip D Moore called the request premature and said the contracts remain closed until 1968. He said retiree benefits will rise despite tax shifts and noted the meeting was constructive with no acrimony. IUE leadership change did not affect Tuesday’s talks.
