Johnsons Medicare Plan Moves Beyond Johnson Target
The House Ways and Means Committee forged a sweeping health care measure for seniors beyond the president’s proposal. It combines compulsory hospital insurance funded by Social Security taxes with a voluntary policy for doctor bills, aiming to cover most senior medical costs. The plan would raise payroll taxes to 5.2 percent by 1971 and add a 7 percent Social Security benefit increase to help finance costs. The package also contemplates a $3 monthly contributor match by the federal government and a $100 deductible policy covering most medical expenses, with 70 percent of remaining costs paid by the policy. Costs are estimated to rise from about $1.8 billion to roughly $2 billion.
