JACK TRACY ROOM 320 ^sTBC TELEVISION NETWORK NEWg-K-H January 3, 1961 SEN. HUMPHREY TO FACE A.M.A. SPOKESMAN IN "NATION’S FUTURE" DEBATE ON LINKING MEDICAL CARE FOR THE AGED TO SOCIAL SECURITY "Should Medical Care for the Aged Be Linked to Social Security?" will be debated by Senator Hubert H. Humphrey (D.-Minn.) and Dr. Edward A. Annis, a spokesman for the American Medical Association, on NBC -TV Network's "The Nation’s Future" broadcast Saturday, Jan. 14 (9:30-10:30 p.m. EST). The program, originating from the NBC Studios in New York, will be moderated by John K. M. McCaffery. The series is produced by Robert Allison under the supervision of Irving Gitlin, executive pro¬ ducer. Senator Humphrey, a candidate for Democratic Presidential nomination in i960, was one of the proponents of the medical care bill that was sponsored by Senator John F. Kennedy and was defeated in the special session of Congress last Summer. Dr. Annis is chief of the department of surgery of the Mercy Hospital in Miami, Fla., and chairman of the Legislative Committee of the Florida State Medical Association. He was designated by the America? Medical Association as its spokesman on "The Nation's Future." [Producer Robert Allison said that the scope of the problem to be debated is indicated by the fact that there are now 16 million Americans over 65 years of age. Since 1900, while the population has doubled, the number of Americans over 65 has quadrupled. In 1900* the average life span was slightly more than 47 years, while today it is about 70.
