Kennedy Medical Plan for Aged Outlined in Draft
The proposal would aid about 14.2 million people over 65 covered by social security and railroad retirement. It would start Oct 1, 1962 and be financed by raising social security taxes on the first 5 000 earned. A further 0.25 percent tax rise is asked for Jan 1, 1963, making total taxes 4 percent for employers and costs rise to 6 percent for self employed by 1969. The maximum employee tax would rise from 144 to 216 by 1969, and up to 250 if both increases pass.
