Ford plan would raise net Medicare costs for elderly and disabled
Ford proposes legislation to cap annual hospital and doctor charges while requiring higher out of pocket payments for those 65 and older or disabled. Under the plan 25 million beneficiaries could face up to 500 dollars a year for hospital or nursing care and 250 dollars for doctors, with net added costs of 1.312 billion dollars. Government figures show higher outlays under the plan, offset by some savings for a portion of beneficiaries. An earlier Nixon proposal faced Congress resistance.
