TOO MANY POOR
ARE SICK
By DR.. R sTELzLE


Sickness and death rates in the
United States are of vital interest
to the workers of America, because
in normal times about eighty per
cent of the poverty in this country
may be charged against sickness, and
death rates steadily increase as the
rate of wages goes down. In the
major diseases, which are the cause
of three-fourths of all deaths, the
death rate among workers who re-
ceive less than $1,000 a year is twice
that of the rest of the population.
The United States Public Health
Service, in charge of Miss Josephine
Roche of Colorado, who is favorably
known to Labor, has just issued a
statement which declares that death
rates have reached a low of only
ITO per 1000 of the population.
This is probably the lowest death
rate of any country in the world,
with the exception of Australia and
New Zealand, although in several
states in this country, the death rate
is fully as low as it is in these two
countries.
This is cheering news, because I'M
d%oubtedly this steady decrease in
death rates also affects the workers
of America. However, the sickness
and death rates are still far too high.
On an average day, Miss Roche re-
ports, 100000 or more persons in
the United States are disabled by
illness. Of course, many more are
i'll, but they go to work anyway.
But every year 70, 900 lose more
than n billion days from work.
The total cost of illness and pre-
mature death is approximately $10,-
100000, 900 a year.
No physicians care is received in
30 per cent Of serious illness among
relief families, none in 20 per cent
of such illnesses in families Just
above the relief level. The babies
of the poor die at a rate of five times
higher than the babies of the mod
erately well-to-do. Fifty million
Americans are in families receiving
less than $1,000 per year income.
Medical care decreases sharply as
the need for it increases.
1t is natural to infer that decreased
death rates is accompanied by a
decrease in the amount of sickness,
but it does not necessarily follow
that the decrease of sickness rates
is in the same ratio as the decrease
in death rates, because progress in
medical treatment has so steadily
advanced that certain diseases are
now durable, whereas in earlier
times they proved fatal.
The big job is to have the poor
of our country receive the benefit
both Of preventive and curative
measures. To this end our govern
ment is doing more than is generally
credited to it, particularly as it
operates through its Public Health
Service.
