Medical Bill Wins House OK
The House passed a revised medical bill under an amendment procedure, offering federal matching grants from July 1 1961 to states expanding public assistance to medical care for the needy elderly. It would cover 500 000 to 1 090 000 persons over 65 unable to pay bills, with a projected first year cost of $18.5 billion from the federal government and $140 million from states. The plan would extend Social Security benefits to 875 000 more workers and tax 50 000 additional earners. Critics labeled it unworkable or inadequate, while supporters led by Rep. Aime Forand seek broader elderly protection. Senate optimism followed Chairman Pat McNamara’s pledge to press the bill toward his version.
