Ford seeks Social Security tax hike and Medicare changes
President Ford asked Congress for a multibillion-dollar Social Security tax increase and new catastrophic illness coverage for older Americans. He proposed higher Medicare patient costs of up to 500 a year for hospital care and 250 for doctor bills, plus caps on payment rates for 1977 and 1978. The plan aims to bolster the Social Security trust fund and curb rising health costs while signing the message at the Oval Office ahead of the Florida primary.
