Medicare premium increase to cover rising medical costs
Boatwright says the rise funds Medicare insurance on a pay-as-you-go basis. About half covers current program costs and the rest anticipates higher expenses for 1971-72. He notes Medicare remains cheaper than private coverage, with the other half funded from federal revenues. Rates are set annually by the Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare based on expected benefits and expenses.
