Wagner proposes unified postwar social security plan
Senator Robert F Wagner introduces a bill to create a cradle to grave social insurance system similar to Beveridge in Britain. It covers unemployment illness disability and old age with medical care and hospital services for all, extending benefits to about 15 million currently uncovered workers including farm workers domestic staff and small business owners. The plan funds come from a six percent employee contribution and six percent employer match on wages up to 3000 dollars with self employed paying seven percent of service value up to 3000 dollars. Public workers would contribute three and a half percent with a matching from the employing agency. Workers face a four percent increase over present Social Security contributions, but Wagner says they will receive full value from enhanced protections. (Continued on Page Two)
