Miners rally for medical benefits on Capitol lawn
About 10 000 supporters led by United Mine Workers rallied on the Capitol lawn to urge Congress to rescue the health care fund for retired miners and spouses. The fund faces a $58 million red ink next year due to rising prescription costs and a court ruling cutting contributions. Beneficiaries exceed 70 900 across states led by West Virginia and Pennsylvania, with most recipients age 78 and widows. Proposals by Sen Rockefeller and Rep Rahall seek government transfers to shore up the program.
