Insured People Weigh Less Than Uninsured
New York report notes insured women tend to be slimmer while uninsured and American women overall gain weight. Seltzer and Mayer say insurance data may not reflect general populations, citing Metropolitan Life studies showing male weight rises 1941 to 1963 but female weight declines except for the very tall. They contrast 1939-40 Agriculture data with 1960-62 Public Health Service data showing 5 to 9 pound increases for women of all heights.

Johnsons request for a major overhaul of income tax laws for Americans over 65 was shelved by the House Ways and Means Committee amid five months of deliberations. The plan would have started January 1 and aimed to cut taxes for low and moderate earners while increasing taxes for higher income seniors, funded by taxing Social Security benefits and removing certain elderly tax breaks.
