Kennedy Proposes New Health Insurance Plan
Senator Edward M Kennedy introduced legislation for a comprehensive national health plan set to begin in mid 1973. It would cover all citizens with broad access to health services, funded by a social security style trust fund, employer payroll taxes, and individual income taxes. The plan aims to cover about 70 percent of health expenditures and would replace Medicare and Medicaid for the elderly and needy, while not creating government owned facilities. Kennedy stressed a public private partnership with no deductibles or waiting periods, except for nursing homes and some psychiatric care and medicines.
