Medicare costs rise to 75 a day by September
Hospital costs per patient day are projected to reach about 75 dollars by September, rising 18.6 percent annually for three to five years. Spokesmen for the American Hospital Association told House Ways and Means chairman Wilbur D. Mills that Congress must find more revenue to sustain Medicare. They warn Medicare taxes on workers and employers will need increases, and argue tax should be funded from general revenues rather than a dedicated Medicare levy.
