Kennedy calls for sweeping senior citizens program
President Kennedy asked Congress for a broad 36 point program to aid 17.5 million Americans over 65. The plan forecasts nearly 10 billion dollars in five years with hospital insurance funded by higher Social Security taxes and employer and worker contributions. The plan envisions Medicare for hospital care starting 1965, with universal coverage for those over 65 and a configurable medical benefits plan paid from new funds. It also seeks measures to protect the elderly from fraud and to expand employment opportunities for older workers. The proposal argues the program would raise living standards and enable a more active role for seniors while preserving doctor choice and noninterference with current medical delivery.
