REMARKS IN NEW YORK CITY BEFORE THE 50TH ANNIVERSARY CONVENTION OF THE AMALGAMATED CLOTHING WORKERS--MAY 9, 1964

There is a third program where you and I must stand together today. We must unite in passing a bill in Congress to help our older citizens secure decent medical aid under social security. Inadequate hospital care is an indecent penalty to place on old age.

In the hills of eastern Kentucky, one of the 13 States that I visited in a program to meet the people and to know the country and to do something about the problems--in that program I sat next to a father that had 11 children, that had worked 4 days last month, that had made $4 a day and had had to feed those little hungry mouths largely from surplus commodities. And he told me because he believed in the admonition of "Love thy neighbor as thyself," that he had been over and sat up with an 85?year?old man until 4 o'clock the night before the President visited him. Why? Because there was no hospital for him to go to and there were no resources to pay the hospital bill.

Situations like that must end in America.

All we are asking for is a program under social security, which will let the worker put in about $1 a month from his average lifetime earnings. The average manufacturing earnings in this country are now $100 a week. We ask $1 per month when he enters the labor market from the employee and $1 per month from his employer and the Government does not put in a single cent. But under this plan all Americans, not just the rich and affluent Americans, all Americans can face the autumn of life with dignity and security. Twenty-four dollars a year, if you enter the labor market at 20 and stay until you are 65?45 years at $24 makes a little over $1,100, multiplied by the formula 3.75 and you have almost $4,000 when you are 65 in your account to take care of your hospital needs.

What little you may have saved during that time can go to pay the doctor of your choice. He is not interfered with in any way. He is really served by having a fund to pay your hospital bill because, as it is now,
