Medicare Premium Up by 1.30 in July Amid Nixon Aid Talks
Washington AP reports the Medicare supplementary medical insurance premium will rise by $1.30 a month, to $3.20, starting July as part of an overall Social Security and health program review. Secretary Finch announced the hike after Nixon signaled support for the tax and benefit changes, with 19 million Americans covered by Medicare. The increase funds medical costs for doctor visits and hospital expenses under the voluntary program paired with basic hospital insurance. Critics say the rise is inflationary while supporters argue it secures essential coverage for the elderly.
