Germany, whose system of sick, old
age and accident insurance, has long
attracted attention, and which has
been pointed to as model system,
has developed a serious weakness.
The system was established thirty
years ago. Recently a committee of
prominent German philanthropists
have conducted a thorough investiga-
ton and, according to the Youths
Companion, this is what has been dis
covered: The unintended results are
more powerful than the intended re-
suits. People have grossly abused
their privileges and benefits. Men
and women rob the government by
making false claims for insurance
and think it no crime. They pass
around rules for feigning illness and
disability as people in other coun-
tries pass around prescriptions for
promoting health. The system, say
the investigators is robbing the work
ing class of self f-respect and ambition
and seriously debasing its moral
standards. The amount of actual
sickness has increased. A man with
pension in view, easily finds some
grounds for believing he is sick and
his imagination does the rest. Be-
cause of the government sick pen
sion the German working man falls
i'll more easily and remains i'll longer
than he did before government in
surance began. In spite of the great
advance in medical and surgical
science, improved sanitary conditions
land hygenic knowledgef, the length
of illness following any given acci-
dent among the classes benefited by
insurance has increased enormously.
For example, among insured Ger
mans the average length of time re-
quired to recover from broken col
lar bone is more than eight months !;
formerly in the case of young peo-
Pile it was from fifteen to twenty
days and in the case of older persons
from twenty to forty days. The slow
er case, say the Investigators, is not
due wholly from desire to defraud
but is attributed to the mental atti-
tude of the patient towards his own
ailment. In other words he has be-
come convinced that it is his duty to
be sick in order to receive insurance.
The German law places no limit on
the time a person may receive bene-
fits. In Denmark, where there is a
similar law, the sick or injured may
receive insurance for but a limited
period. The result is that in Ger
many, doctors are able to cure but
9.3 per cent of nervous diseases that
follow accidents, whereas, in Den
mark, the percentage of course in
similar cases is 93.6 per cent. States
men of Germany have come to the
conclusion that state insurance-con-
ceived in a spirit of humanity-is not
only weakening the moral fiber of the
nation but is also sapping its physi-
cal stamina.
