Medicare showdown looms as House expected to reject
President Kennedy's proposed Medicare plan faces likely House Ways and Means rejection by two to three votes, delaying any social security medical care for the aged. Senate action also doubtful unless the measure rides a tax bill amendment, possibly this summer.

OASDI and OAA payments cover most seniors, with income disparities and regional variation in benefit reach.
