Kennedy warns Medicare may strain system and services
Sen. Edward Kennedy warned that the new Medicare law could create more problems than it solves unless funding rises. He cited a $1 billion yearly need to upgrade hospitals, a 20 percent rise in demand from the aged, a doctor and nurse shortage, and licensing tightenings for nursing homes as essential steps before Medicare starts July 1. Kennedy urged broader reform including a living income for seniors funded by federal tax reform.
