Medicare Premiums Rise Fifty Cents Monthly
WASHINGTON AP Medicare premiums will rise 50 cents a month for 22.5 million elderly Americans starting July 1. The new rate for the supplemental medical insurance plan will be 6.30 a month, up from last year’s 6.10. HEW Secretary Elliot L.

No further premium increase is planned before July 1, 1975 unless Social Security benefits are changed by Congress.
