Soviet Medicare Not Always Free MOSCOW (AP) -- Soviet au-lical services are not free Is thorities ~ medical keep 'saying Soviet care is the world's best, and that it is free for ev- the hospitals. eryone, The fact is that certain sectors of the Soviet medical program are not free. Premier Khrushchev's Communist party program, is- ~gued in 1961, said the party must provide -- by 1981--"free) medical services for all citi- zens, including the supply of medicines and the treatment of sick persons at sanatoria." To learn precisely what is free, and what is not free, an) interview was requested with top Soviet medical officials. Permission was granted for an interview with Alexei Safonov, chief of the Soviet Medical Services Board.

He replied: "When a person becomes 70 years old he 'will probably need a walking stick.
