Congress Gets Bill to Cover Medical Care

Measure Adheres To Truman's Plan

‘For Health Insurance WASHINGTON, Apr. 25 (UP) —Administration Democrats introduced legislation in the Senate and House today to carry out President Trunian’s $8 billion national health insurance program. The bill, sponsored by eight Senators and two House members, called for a compulsory prepaid insurance plan to provide medical, surgical, dental and hospital care for 85 per cent of the American people. ; It would be financed by an additional three per cent payroll tax, split between employers and employees, comparable taxes‘on the self-employed, and a $1.5 billion annual appropriation. from. the Treasury. & - i The payroll tax would be on the first $4800 of annual income. Hews to Truman Line

The bill followed precisely the line laid down last week by President Truman and other administration spokesmen. Its sponsors said in an accompanying statement that payment for medical service should be “in proportion to income” and that the American people should get health care “as a right and not as charity.” They dismissed as inadequate] an alternative bill previously introduced by Sen. Robert A. Taft (R. 0.) which would provide; more federal health aid for the needy and encourage develop] ment of voluntary medical insurance plans. “To require that half of the population take a pauper’s oath in order to see these doctors or be admitted to these hospitals fs degrading and un-American,” the sponsors said. “That is what the Taft plan means. That is the sure road to socialized medicine.” “Tried and Tested’ They said President Truman's plan is “the tried and tested democratic way.” “If we are to make medical
