Rising costs blamed for bigger Medicare bill share
HEW Secretary Wilbur J. Cohen announced a 10 percent increase in the amount Medicare patients will pay for hospitalization effective January 1. The first $44 of the bill will be charged instead of $40, as hospital costs rise. Cohen proposed extending Social Security funds to cover physician costs and noted VP Humphrey favors the plan. He could not estimate the total government cost. The change would also remove the $4 monthly premium for doctor-fee insurance for those over 65.
