Kennedy urges sweeping senior citizens program aid
President Kennedy asked Congress for a 36 point senior citizens program with expanded medical care and a price tag near 10 billion dollars for the first five years. He proposed Social Security tax increases for both employers and workers and a rise in the earnings base to 5200 dollars. The hospital insurance plan would start January 1 1965 and require a 13 dollar contribution from both sides. The message stressed health care and fraud protection and urged employment opportunities for older workers while noting the plan would not interfere with doctor choice or standard medical practice.
