Weinberger denies windfall from Nixon health plan
Health, Education and Welfare Secretary Caspar Weinberger rejected claims that Nixon's plan would yield billions in profits for insurers. He said the plan could cost about 5.8 billion federal and near 1 billion state funding annually, with regulation preventing excessive private gains and no broad tax increases. He supported deductibles even for low income families and noted state control of insurance charges with federal oversight only if a state lacks regulation. He expressed optimism the health legislation could pass this year.

Kennedy says health bill compromise likely this year
Senator Edward Kennedy announced he has prepared a compromise with the administration on a national health insurance program and expects Congress to pass a bill this year. He criticized Nixon's plan for relying on private insurance and higher costs, while praising parts of the administration proposal as a step forward but not guaranteeing universal care. Kennedy stressed the roles of Mills and Long in final shaping, and said he will wait until 1975 to decide on a 1976 presidential bid, acknowledging public judgment on Chappaquiddick.
