Medicare Measure Approved In Fast House Action
The House rushes a $6 billion medical care bill backed by Johnson’s elderly health program and higher Social Security benefits. The plan expands welfare, plus compulsory hospital and nursing home insurance for those over 63 funded by Social Security taxes, with a voluntary doctor-bills plan and a 7 percent Social Security boost for about 30 million pensioners. Democrats supported it, Republicans opposed, and passage in both houses seemed likely.
