House Near
OK Of Limited
Care for Aged
BY ROBERT X. WALSH
Star stan Writer

A plan for medical care for
the aged seems likely to get
House approval this week de-
spite the fact that many legis-
lators say they don't care
for it.
The plan would provide a
limited amount of Federal
financial aid to States on a
matching basis. This would
enable the State to establish
programs for hospital, nursing
and physicians services for
persons IS and over whose in
comes are too low to meet
heavy costs of illness.
States would have consider
able leeway on whether to take
part and on determining ell
gibility and the extent Of
services.
The proposal is criticized by
House members who advocate
using the existing Social Sc
curity System to handle and
finance such q program and
by those who favor the "volun-
tary" approach in the admin
istration's optional but more
comprehensive Medicare plan.
House Approval Seen
But, in the opinion of House
members who have wrestled
for months with the problem,
the modified plan stands a good
chance of House approval after
it comes up Wednesday. They
give these main reasons:
/. Democratic leaders in
House and Senate have made
medical care for the aged a
prime issue for Congress to re-
solve before 1t adjourns.
2. Supporters of the Forand
bill for a hospital. nursing
home and surgical care pro-
gram for the aged within the
Social Security System contend
that the pending measure is
little better than a restricted
public assistance arrangement
for the acutely needy and
would not help several million
aged persons.
They nevertheless hope it
will be approved by the House
and sent to the Senate for
probable rewriting to include
some features Of the social Sc
curity approach.
8. Many House Republicans
are expected to vote for the
bill rather than run the elec-
ton year risk of opposing even
the mildest kind of measure for
medical care for the aged.
