Byrd's Eye View Newspaper Column
Description
Following the passage of the Social Security Act Amendments, Senator Byrd penned this column detailing two new insurance plans established as part of Medicaid. Each benefited Americans aged sixty five and over. Part A, the "Basic Hospital Insurance Plan," provided coverage for inpatient hospital stays, extended care in skilled nursing facilities, home-health visits, and outpatient diagnostic services. Part B, the "Voluntary Supplemental Medical Insurance Plan," provided some coverage for costs associated with services and equipment not included under Part A for a $3 monthly premium.
