r Porter Proposes Health Benefits Washington Legislation providing certain prepaid health insurance benefits for senior citizens eligible for old age and survivors insurance benefits under the Social Se curity Act has been reintro duced by Rep. Charles O. Por ter (D-Ore.). Porter's bill, H. R. 5667, is identical to legislation intro duced by Rep. Aime Forand (D-R.I.). The Oregon congress man joined Congressman For and in sponsoring the bill dur ing the 85th Congress. There are minor revisions in the new bill. As written, the bill provides certain hospital and nursing home services and surgical services. It is financed by in creasing contribution rates of employers and employees by one-fourth per cent each and of self-employed by three- eights per cent. The health benefits would cause about half the additions to total cost. Under the section concern ing hospital and nursing home services, an eligible person would be insured against the cost of hospital care. This in cludes a semi-private room and such services as the hos pital customarily furnishes its bed patients. The insurance system would not pay the at tending doctor's bills, except for surgical services. There would be a certain freedom of selection except in emergency cases. A patient would receive up to 60 days of hospitalization in a 12-month period. Nursing home care could total up to 120 days, less the number of days spent in the hospital dur ing the same 12-month period. ROMEX 142 Cable 3'ie Ft. 122 Cable 4ije Ft. In 250 Ft.
