1885 Transport
Workers Got Free
Medical Care

NEW YORK. - (FP) - The groul
medical plan of the Transport Work
ers Union (CIO), one of the most ex
tensiye and comprehensive health pro
grams yet undertaken by any labor
union, benefited 1885 of New York's
$4,000 subway, streetcar and bus en-
ployes in its first year of operation
the TWU reported June 81.
Exclusive of administrative costs
the plan spent a total of $197 900
which amounts to 1858 for each un
ionist who received medical care. The
program is supported from regular
dues payments augmented by the pro
ceeds of two benefit dances conducted
each year.
Thus without any extra expense,
the workers got the full services of
43 general practitioners and special
lists in the eight most essential fields
of specialized medicine, including
x-ray and surgery. Only hospitaliza-
ton and dental care are not included.
During the plans first year the
greatest number of treatments were
given in the fields of x-ray and ear,
nose and throat. The number of cases
in which Illness was discovered and
treated totaled 1928 The number of
workers x-rayed was 1880, and there
were I'll major operations performed.
Relationship between the workers
and physicians was described by TWU
Pres. Michael J. Quill as ''the same
as exists between any patient and
any qualified and competent family
or private DOCTOR"
The plan has laid stress on pre-
ventive medicine. Physicians on the
staff have given educational lectures
at 81 union meetings and as result
many workers have signed up for
periodic health examinations.
With successful completion of the
health programs first year, the union
health committee and the medical ad-
yisory committee, made up of three
staff physicians, are studying ways of
extending the plan still further.
