Prict MEdford As yet, only 23 States, plus Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands, have set up MAA programs. At the end of last year, only 17 States and the Virgin Islands were actually making MAA payments. Even though the Federal government agrees to pay from 50 to 80 percent of the cost depending on the wealth of the state-ma- ny states say they are too poor to put the plan into effect. However, if a person lives in New York, Massachusetts, or Michigan his chances of getting MAA aid are better. 25; Utah 27. And almost everybody has read about West Virginia where physicians' and the hospital claims out-ra- n availnble "MAA" funds. Yet, these inadequate benefits have already cost Federal and state governments more than $120 million. In fiscal 1963, the "MAA" program will cost the Federal government an estimated $230 million, and almost $200 million to State and local governments. Compare this plan with the national health insurance plan proposed by the President a program that would be The bill, which is now before and which carries out the President's proposal, would provide broad health benefits, for nearly everyone over 65 through the Social Security ed. King-Anders- Con--gr- ess System. The cost would be only a month for the average wage earner and an equal amount from his employer. For this, you are buying health care, with dignity, for your parents. You will be able to save more money to give your children the best upbringing and education for a good start in life. At the same time, you are investing in your own health care when you reach 65 and relieving your own children of the burden of paying for it. What investment can pay better dividends? $1 Secretary Ribicoff These states account for 92 per cent of all money spent under this plan last December. Here are a few examples showing how little actual help with medical expenses some of the states provide: If a person lives in Kentucky he is eligible for hospital care only in case of "acute, emergency, and illness," and then for only 6 days hospitalization. In Oklahoma, "MAA" will pay for hospital care only for conditions which endanger life or sight. In December, Louisiana reported actual expenditures for only 8 recipients; New Hampshire for Your Congressman wants to how you stand on the Kennedy Program for Health Insurance through Social Security.
