Medicare cost boost announced for July 1
HEW says Medicare premiums rise 50 cents monthly starting July 1 for 22.5 million elderly Americans. The supplement to hospital insurance will be $6.30 monthly, up from last year’s 20 cent rise. Secretary Richardson cites higher hospital and physician costs driving the increase. New Social Security legislation expands coverage to 1.7 million disabled under 65 and kidney disease patients, with chiropractors and speech pathologists covered and home health co-payment removed. No premium hike before July 1, 1975 unless Congress acts.
