Medicare Plan Seen Likely To Pass Senate Next Week
Senate backers of President Kennedy’s Social Security health plan for the elderly predicted final passage by next Wednesday or Thursday. A Republican substitute was defeated in a brief vote, with about 15 senators present, boosting support for the administration proposal amid Fourth of July absences and opposition to any Social Security approach. The plan would also raise the minimum retirement payment by increasing the base on which Social Security taxes are paid, lifting individual monthly maximum from 127 to 134 dollars and couple payments from 191 to 201 dollars.
