WILL, Senior District Judge,
concurring.
I concur in Judge Coffey’s analysis and opinion and, particularly, in his expression of sympathy for retirees who have received and relied upon company financed life and health insurance plans for many years and who then suddenly find themselves unprotected. This case is not an isolated example and is one of the reasons for the growing demand that some form of national health plan be adopted so that retirees and other persons will be able to afford and secure the medical services they need. Given the fact that retirees require progressively more medical treatment as they age and that there will continue to be more of them, it is particularly important that some comprehensive long-term plan other than the present diminishing Medicare program be adopted for their protection.
