The answer is tightly tied to their low incomes and the likelihood that they'll need hospitalization which many of them can't afford. Here's how the President explained his interest last February in a special message to Congress: "A proud and resourceful 1 Nation can no longer ask Its older people to live in constant fear of a serious illness for which adequate funds are not available. We owe them the right to dignity in sickness as well as In health. "We can achieve this by adding health insurance -primarily hospitalization Insurance-to our successful social security system. ... We urgently need this leglslatlon-and we need it now." The facts surrounding the health and financial condition of most of today's nearly 18 million people 5 or older leave no room to doubt their need for help with their medical problems. First, the average couple 65 or older, has an income of less than $50 a week; the average older person living alone has only about $20 a week and the average older person living with relatives has a weekly income of less than $9. And, ft very high percentage of the aged have practically no assets

to draw on for medical costs. Second, older people-because of their age-are more likely to need hospital care than younger Eeople and are going to need to e hospitalized longer. The facts are these: -One out of every 8 people 65 or older will be hospitalized during the year and the average stay will be about two weeks, twice as long as the average younger person. President Kennedy -The hospital bill, not including doctor's and other expenses, will average about $525. The total bill will be about $900. This represents more than onethird of the total yearly income of today's average older couple and only slightly less than the total income of the average older person living alone. These facts show clearly that most older people just cannot afford to be ill for very long. If they are, they must turn to

For the President, this is ft situation which should not exist. Thus, he has proposed what he calls the only "reasonable and practical solution to ft critical problem": A program of hospital insurance under social security. The benefits of the program would be available to all social security and railroad retirement beneficiaries over 65. In addition, the protection would be extended to all others who are over 65 and have not had the chance to be covered by social security. In the long run, nearly everyone will receive the health insurance by coverage under the social security program during working years. For the average worker the cost would be 25 cents a week or $13 a year. The Hospital Insurance Act will be delivered out of key Congressional Committees and voted into law when majority of legislators, convinced of its soundness, sense a powerful demand from their constituents for its enactment. Your Congressman wants to know how you stand on the bill to provide hospital Insurance for older Americans through Social Security. Write to him.
