Medical Plan Up for Final Approval Today
A compromise Social Security bill with increased federal grants for elderly medical bills goes to final congressional action. The House is expected to pass it easily, while the Senate faces more debate over provisions. The bill retains a medical care plan and liberalizes some Social Security benefits, but drops a Senate proposal to start retirement at 62 with reduced benefits. A earnings-based reduction replaces the prior earnings-based loss of benefits. Byrd leads the conferees citing trust fund concerns. An estimated 200 million in the medical plan is noted.
