Senate Finance approves broad health care for aged plan
The Senate Finance Committee backed a bill creating a universal health care program for Americans over 65 and increasing Social Security payments. The measure, approved 12 to 5, moves to the Senate floor for likely July passage, linking Medicare style coverage to Social Security. It funds hospitalization, nursing home care, outpatient services, and home health visits, plus a voluntary supplemental plan for physicians' fees. The vote comes as the American Medical Association weighs whether to urge doctors to boycott or delay Medicare action.

AMA Rejects Boycott Plan on Medicare Debate
The American Medical Association rejected calls for doctors to boycott federal Medicare while signaling its stance against any health program that impedes medical judgment. The House of Delegates approved a resolution to review Medicare effects when Congress decides the program's fate, while reaffirming commitment to public welfare. A Senate committee bill would also alter Social Security, with a notable 7 percent rise in retirement disability benefits.
