UNIFIED SOCIAL
INSURANCE
PROGRAM NEEDED

Early action to prepare for the war
end situation on the home front, when
many people will be hunting work is
the urgent recommendation of the Social
Security Board in its eighth annual re-
port to Congress, made public today.
I'm addition to the current plans of
government and industry for high-level
production and full employment we
should provide full insurance protection, .
says Chairman Arthur ]. Altmeyer, for
the war workers and servicemen who will
be looking for jobs, and for the count
less other men and women likely to be
displaced by those who have been away"
mo one can doubt" says the report,
that victory will bring sharp and sud-
den changes in all the factors in Ameri-
can life which the social security pro-
gram is concerned. Whether that time
comes sooner or later, it is now none too
soon to design and implement the social
security provisions which will be needed
then"
The board recommends immediate
action to provide insurance against the
loss or interruption of wages for any of
the common causes that threaten the
livelihood Of working people and are be-
yond the individuals control; in short,
a comprehensive program Of insurance
protection which would provide benefit
payments in part-compensation for
wages lost on account of sickness or dis
ability, temporary or permanent, as we'll
as on account Of unemployment, old age
and death.
Would Extend Old-Age and
Survivors Insurance
Specifically as to old-age and surviv-
ors' insurance, the board recommends
extension of coyerage to the millions of
workers not now covered as the most
fundamental and immediate need-espe-
cially coverage for agricultural workers,
domestic workers in private homes, en-
ployes of nonprofit organizations and
seh-employed persons. A still more i'm
mediate problem arises from the situa-
ton Of millions of persons now in the
armed forces. Because of the eligibility
provisions and the method of computing
the benefits under the law as it stands,
the insurance protection which service
men and women may have acquired be-
fore their induction will be partly or
wholly lost, and the amount of potential
benefits payable to them or their sur
vivors will diminish The boards recon-
mendations would protect these rights
and provide for additional wage credits
based on military service.
Would Provide Disability
and Health Insurance
The board recommends that insurance
against permanent total disability be in
corporated in the federal system Of old
age and survivors insurance, and also
that cash benefits,sto compensate in part
for wages lost through temporary dis
ability, be coordinated with the provi-
sions for permanent disability. 1t is the
boards belief, further, that "compre-
hensive measures can and should be

undertaken to distribute medical costs
and assure access to services of hospitals,
physicians, laboratories, and the like to
all who have need of them. For all
groups ordinarily self-supporting, such
step would mean primarily a redistribu-
ton of existing costs through insurance
devices. It should be effected in such
way as to preserve free choice Of doctor
or hospital and personal relationships
between physicians and their patients,
To maintain professional leadership to
ensure adequate remuneration - very
probably, more nearly adequate than
that in customary circumstances-to all
practitioners and institutions furnishing
medical and health services, and to
guarantee the continued independence of
nongoyernmental hospitals"
Would Make UnempiOyment
Insurance National
AS to unemployment insurance the
board sums up the experiences of the
country under the present state-federal
system, with its 81 separate and indie
pendent state and territorial laws, anG
comes to the conclusion that admins
tration of unemployment insurance
should be made a federal responsibility
in order to gear unemployment compen-
sation effectively into a comprehensive
national system of social security" Only
nationwide measures to counter un-
employment can be effective, the board
believes, when the need arises for swift
and concerted action to harmonic ac-
tivities with national policy during the
changeover of our economic system to
peace. But even if the special stresses
OF postwar years were not impending,
the state-federal basis would have called
for reconsideration by now in the
boards opinion This is fundamentally
because "the course of events since Pearl
Harbor has emphasized what had become
increasingly evident in prior years-that
employment and unemployment are no
.respecters Of state lines" And "a uni
fled national system of social insurance" "
of which unemployment insurance would
be a part, would be "a program far
safer, stronger, and more nearly ade-
quate from the standpoint of unem-
ployed workers and the nation"
Act Now
Urging the appropriateness of action
now, the board points out that with
employment and earnings at record
levels, millions of workers can and want
to contribute toward making better pro-
vision against sickness, disability, un-
employment, and old age. For many
older workers. such an opportunity may
not come again" Furthermore, says the
board, "by creating a reservoir of future
purchasing power, to be drawn upon
where and when it is needed, the extern
sion of social insurance to additional
groups of workers and additional risks
would add substantially to the nations
resources for weatheriny the inevitable
readjustments of the postwar years. At
the same time, increases in insurance
contributions would lessen current in
flationary pressures"
