Cost of Health Care Plan Put at $2 Billion Annually
President Kennedy would fund a health care plan for the aged by raising Social Security taxes about 2 billion dollars yearly. Wage earners would see an average 124 dollars annually, with a maximum of 27.50 for any employee. The plan aims to curb rising hospital bills among older Americans while preserving the Social Security system. The administration presented the proposal to the House Ways and Means Committee, outlining hospitalization and nursing care benefits but excluding doctors’ bills. The tax hike would increase the wage base from 4800 to 5200 dollars and raise roughly 2 billion dollars in revenue. The plan would also adjust retirement payments for old age and disability, with continued operation expected.
