New Medical Plan Sought in Bill in Senate
Senators Long and Rubicam proposed a federal health plan to shield the public from catastrophic medical costs. The bill would create government insurance like Medicare covering expenses beyond the first $2,000 or beyond days of hospitalization. It would push private insurers to offer affordable policies for initial hospital care and the first $2,000 of medical bills. The proposal also recommends replacing Medicaid with a uniform national program for low income, expanding eligibility to 12 million additional workers.
