A New Federal System of Health
and Disability Insurance.
The Need for Health Insurance
The compelling need for security
against sickness has generally been
recognized. Approximately three mil.
lion persons in our country are dis
abled by illness on an average day.
The economic burden of i'll health
falls most heavily on the largest seq
ment of the working population, which
cannot afford adequate health service
and at the same time, suffers the
greatest amount of illness. The so
cial wastes involved must be meas
ured in terms of the loss of millions
of man-hours and man-days of produc-
tive labor and in the avoidabIe de-
terioration of the human wealth of
the nation. Our failure to provide
adequate health insurance and med
ical care has resulted in the alarm
ingly large percentage of young men
called for military service who have

Medical Association has published an
analysis in which it hectares that.
aside from the INDECENT, families earn
ing up to $4,000 year are unable
to meet the costs of major sickness
and need some measure of assistance
This means that 92% of our popula-
tion need assistance in meeting the
costs of medical care Thus, an ade-
quate health program providing med
ical care and disability benefits is
uargently required in the interests of
the national welfare and is indeed
wartime necessity. Our country has
Jagged behind the rest OF the civilized
world in failing to create a health
insurance system.
The Proposals for Health and
Disability Insurance
The bill now proposes to meet the
need by creating a broad system of
health and disability insurance as part
of new unified social insurance sys-
TEN. This portion of the bill is per-
haps its most outstanding contribu-
tion to the security of the American
people. The bill proposes two types
of benefits, both of which are new to
our national social insurance system:
(a) medical care and disqualification
benefits, and (b) cash benefits for
permanent and temporary disability.
These benefits are provided for vir-
tually the entire working population
of the country. The self-employed,
too, are covered for medical care, hos
and permanent disability
benefits.
