LONDON, June 7.-England's new
national health insurance law for
workingmen and workingwomen has
proven big success.
Despite the fierce antagonism OF
its Tory opponents. the organized OBJ
struction Of a large section of the
medical fraternity, and the lukewarm
support OF many OF its nominal
friends, in its early days, the act en-
tiers next week upon the sixth month
OF the full operation Of its various
provisions, with 81 percent Of these
insurable under 1t regularly contrib
uting their weekly premiums and sub
ject to all Its benefits. Before 1t be-
came law predictions were freely
made that less than half the persons
for whom the bill was designed
would avail themselves willingly Of
it's privileges, and that, owing to its
alleged cumbersomeness if for no 9TH
er reason, 1t would speedily result in
failure.
According to the latest figures com
piled by the national insurance COM
missioners 13,250,O0O workingmen and
workingwomen have now joined these
so-called approved societies" through
which the government guarantees tho
full sick and maternity benefits pro-
vided for under the law. Besides
these there are half-million deposit
contributors" who pay their contri-
buttons into the postoffice department
and are entitled to relief only to the
extend OF such contributions together
with those made on their behalf by
their employers and the government.
Based on the amount Of funds al
ready paid out through the approved
societies, the commission estimates
that the average for the first year, in
sick benefits alone, will be $4,000 a
week to 10000 persons. In addition,
approximately half million men and
women, not sufficiently i'll to be conf
PEELED to remain away from their
work, are receiving free medicine and
free medical attendance, at cost OF
another 100000 a week.
Maternity benefits to the amount OF
nearly $4,000 are being paid to 49,
600 women. At the same time the
government is gradually piling up a
big surplus for the permanent dis
ablement benefits, and is treating TO-
600 persons for tuberculosis in SAM
tcria and elsewhere.
Under the terms Of the law men
contribute cents weekly, their en-
ployers cents, and the government
cents for each person. Women
are required to pay only cents. The
benefits include, besides free medi-
cine and medical attendance, $3.50 a
week for men during absence from
work on account of sickness, and
s1.s7 for women; also $3.50 mater
nifty benefit for wives of insured per-
some, with $3.50 additional If the wife
herself is insured.
