A portion of the herd would be

Water Extensions

Council except Red Boucher were
being sued by Lazar Dworkin of the

Dworkin's suit is to -ton the sale
of $2,000,000 in General Obligation
Bonds by the City. Jackson ex
plained. The issuance of the bonds
was narrowly approved last week
by Fairbanks voters.
Jackson said that Dworkin con

using the 1961 tax rolls rather than
the 1962 tax rolls in determining
voting qualifications.
Jackson said the City presently

WHY WE NEED THE KENNEDY HEALTH
FLAN FOR THE AGED
By Abraham Ribicoff
Secretary of Health, Education, and V/elfart
Recently I talked to a man
who had some family problems
typical of those which have
become widespread across the
nation, causing despair and fi
nancial worries to young and
old.
“My wife and the children
are fine,” he said, “but my
father has been in and out of
the hospital for the past two
years, and now my mother is
seriously ill.”
He said he had not only spent
his savings—close to $2,500—
for his aged father’s hospital
and medical bills, but had also
been forced to borrow money
and to dip into the fund he had
set aside for his son’s education.
“The truth is,” he said, “I’m
broke. My wife and I will man
age somehow, but it’s my son
I’m worried about. He wants
to be an engineer. I can no
longer afford to send him to
college.
Then he asked, deeply trou
bled, “What am I supposed to
do? Forget I have parents? Ne
glect them? Forget I love them?
Forget what I owe them?
What’s the answer?”
Fortunately for him and for
so many others like him, there
is an answer. President Ken
nedy provided it when he pro
posed a Health Insurance Plan
for the Aged through Social
Security.
The President’s plan will help
the- whole family, as well as
benefit those over 65. It is a
plan for "family security.” It
will enable us more easily to
carry out our responsibilities
to our parents, to our children
and to ourselves and, at the
same time, lessen the drain on
the family, budget.
• I will tell you more about
how this “family security plan”
works and about the legislation
now before Congress after I
explain why it is needed—and
why the time has come to do
something about it.
Back in 1935, Congress passed
the Social Security Act—a tre
mendous step toward relieving
the American people of the fear
of economic insecurity in old
age. Now we must move an
other step forward. Because
medical science has lengthened
the lifespan, there are today 17
million people in this country
65 years of age and over. By
1970 this number will be 20
million.
A new insecurity is gripping
our old folks and affecting the
lives of younger members of
their families. How can they
pay the rapidly mounting costs
of hospital care for the elderly
—costs that have gone up fast
er than any other necessities
of life, and far more than re
tirement incomes.
A look at the figures bears
out their fears:
Hospital costs have more
than tripled in the past 15
years. The bill for an aged per
son now is close to $500 for the
average hospital stay. To add
to this gloomy picture, statis
tics show that 9 out of 10 per
sons reaching age 65 this year
will need hospitalization in
their remaining lifetime, most
Secretary Ilibicoff
of them more than once. And
their stay in the hospital will
aveiage 15 days,which is longer
than the average hospital stay
of younger people.
Who must pay these hospital
bills? Surely not our old folks.
Half of them have less than
$1,200 a year. This is scarcely
enough to cover their food,
housing, and a few other
essentials.
Private health insurance pol
icies? Some old people have
them, but premiums for policies
in this age bracket are too ex
pensive and protection woefully
inadequate, despite recent im
provements. As a result, many
put ofF going to the hospital
until it is too late or, in desper
ation, turn to their children for
help.
But their children have the
responsibility oi raising ana
educating their own families
and can’t carry the full burden
of costly hospital care. Do they
—now in their thirties or for
ties—exhaust their own sav
ings, mortgage their homes,
borrow from friends or rela
tives? Many do.
Too often, however, it is the
grandchildren who suffer most,
and it is their future which is
at stake. Today there are some
75 million children in this coun
try who axe under 21. By_1970,
this figure will rise to 95 mil
lion. None of these children
should be deprived of the edu
cational opportunities to which
he is entitled.
Who, then, win pay the major
hospital costs of our parents?
Under President Kennedy's
program, it would be the 75
million wage earners who, in
the course of a year, contribute
to their own retirement bene
fits through the Social Security
system. For only $1 a month
for the average worker and
an equal amount from his em- ,
ploye-: these persons not only
would make it possible for
their parents to receive imme
diate health insurance benefits,
but would insure their own
health benefits after they reach
the age of 65 and, in turn, make
certain they won’t have to de
pend on their children to pay
their hospital bills when they
get old. j
This is a sound and simple
proposal which makes sense for
the entire family. In a subse- j
quent article, I will give you
the details of the President’s
Health Insurance Plan through
Social Security and show you
why is it the best answer to tha
biggest national issue facing
our country today. In a third
report, I will tell you why I con
sider existing legislation deal
ing with health care for tha
aged wholly inadequate. /
