Dr Spock Testifies Medicare Bill Aids Children
Dr Benjamin Spock told Congress that the Medicare bill would help children as much as the elderly, noting families often deplete savings to pay medical costs. He testified at Ways and Means hearings that Social Security funds would cover hospital and nursing home care for the aged, benefiting the 65 plus population. Critics from chambers of commerce opposed the measure as unnecessary, while supporters like York Mayor Wagner and Gov John Reynolds urged action amid mounting costs for seniors. The hearing opened 11 months after Kennedy submitted the bill and prospects dimmed as Rep Joel Broyhill, an opponent, joined the panel, leaving the bill short of votes needed to advance.
