Heavy New Payroll Taxes Sought to Expand Social Security
The administration plans to ask Congress for about 8 billion dollars in payroll taxes next year to fund a broader social security program. It would add health and disability coverage, extended old age benefits, and unemployment support, with a 6 percent tax split between workers and employers and future health insurance possibly at 4 percent. The plan aims to cover 50 million more people, including self employed and domestic workers, while doctors’ bills would be paid by the system. The health proposal faces strong opposition from doctors and is expected to move slowly in Congress.
