There are suggestions that the
government take over the job. There
are equally emphatic objections to
any such program-coming chiefly
from the American Medical Assoc
citation which contends that gov
erment-controlled medical care
would tend to regiment" the pro-
fession.
The entire question has been
brought to head by the recent
conference sponsored by the Presi-
dents Committee to Coordinate
Health and Welfare Activities,
which recommended gigantic
$3.50, 100000 federal health program
to. eradicate sickness which, to-
gether with loss of time, Is estimated
to cost the nation $4,000, 900, 900
yearly.
Committee Proposals
The committee made no mention
Of "socialized medicine" as such, but
will ask Congress to enact legisla-
ton designed to provide the same
European countries. Briefly, the
committee suggested:
l. Expenditure Of 5000, 000, 900 an
nually for preventive health work.
2. Expenditure Of $4,000, 900 an
nually for health centers and hos
pitas.
3. ALLEGATION of $400, 100000 an
nually for federal grants-in-aid to
states to provide medical care for
the estimated one-third Of the
population now receiving inadequate
or no medical service.
4. Enactment of legislation to and
self-supporting persons to meet sick
ness costs through a budget plan
or health insurance system set up
lagoon lines Of the present unem-
ployment compensation procedure.
Congress Will Decide
Despite strong opposition, spon-
sors of the program predict that
Congress will enact at least part Of
the program at the next session.
There were also suggestions that a
sort Of mass experiment In govern
ment medical service might be con-

Growth Of such disqualification

the agitation for some sort Of pro-

their legislatures to formulate plans

United States where such plans have
not gained as much Roadway as In
Europe. 1t has met the vigorous
opposition Of the American Medical
Association which contends that any
state-sponsored method of medical
care would inhibit research, destroy
initiative, depreciate the quality OF
medical care, and eliminate the per-
sonal relation between physician
and patient.
For a monthly payment Of 1920
$3.50 II service is to include family
members, about 5000 @. H. A.
members are entitled to services OF

is fighting the organization. The
district corporation counsel and
district attorney have both rendered
informal opinions that G. H. A..
operations are not legal, but the
Legislative Advisory Council, group
Of lawyers, issued an opinion to the
contrary.
