DO We NEED HEALTH
INSURANCE?
(By Arthur ]. Altmeyer, Chairman
Socila Security Board)

Socila security DOdru)
No disagreement exists among us in
our desire to see that everybody, re-
gardess OF how much money he has, is
able to secure adequate health services.
None of us wants to see anybody suffer
or die for lack Of medical care.
While we have made notable progress
in reducing the death rate in this
try over the years, We are not the
healthiest nation in the world. While
we have achieved high standards in
medical and hospital care, this care has
not been within the actual reach of
large numbers of our people. Putting
it bluntly, many Americans this very
minute are suffering and dying ened-
lessly for lack of medical care.
United States Ia Net the Healthiest
Country in the World
The statement has been made many
times that we are the healthiest nation
on earth. but statistics for the years
just preceding the war show conclusive
ly that we are not. Take, for example,
our infant death rate. This is prob
ably the best single measure Of how
our country's health record compares
with that of other nations. Yet seven
countries had lower infant death rates
than the United States.
(, What should concern us even more
than comparisons with other nations OF
with former years is the fact that We
have done much better in protecting
peoples health in some sections Of the
country than in others, for SOM types
OF diseases than for others, and fol
some groups of the population than fol
others.
Take our tuberculosis rate, for ex'
ample. tuberculosis is still one OF the
dread killers. Yet we find that in
number OF states death rates from tn
berculosis are only onc-fifth or one
sixth as high as in the state with thu
highest rate. Ii the national dealt
rate from tuberculosis had been as low
as the lowest actually achieved in an,
state in l043 some $4,000 lives woult
have been saved in that year.
Or again, in somc ~half-dozen state.
with the highest infant death rates il
;. l94S. at least have the babies who dice
!. could have been saved had they beer
fortunate enough to have been born il
areas where conditions were more ia
vorablc for their survival. 1t is signi
/ iicant that in the 10 states with tn
highest infant mortality in 1912, onl,
AZ per cent OF the births were in hos
pitfalls and u per cent had no medica
attendance whatsoever.

Financial Barrier to Adequate
Medical Care

Financial Barrier to Adequate
Medical Care
Poor people have more illness and
have higher death rates than the we'll
TODD, yet they receive far less medical
care per family and per case of sick
ness. Poverty, illness, and inaduate
medical care go together. A study I'M
!, dertaken by the U. S. Public Health
Service in the winter of 1885 showed
that persons on relief had two and one
half times as many days Of sickness as
those having a family income of $1,000
or more. Summing up the results of
various surveys, it appears that the
amount Of medical are received by
persons with low incomes has been
about one-third as adequate in amount
as the care received by those III the
upper income brackets.
The reason for this difference should
be obvious. Medical care costs money
and the poor have less money to pay
for it. Various public opinion polls
show that from 40 to over so per cent
of the American people have put off
going to a doctor because Of the cost.
Financial barricrs-not doctors--are
the cause of the inadequate medical
care Il people receive.
Government Responsibility for
Meeting Health Needs
Is a democratic government meeting
its full responsibility when it does not
safeguard and improve the health of its
people to the utmost extent that medical
science and its our can provide =:
That we have accepted party OF this
responsibility may be seen from the
fact that our government has already
gone a long way in protecting and pro.
noting the health of our people. lr

Your Income Tax
NO. 5-USING THE SHORT
FORM.
By jones MorIow

If you use the l040 short form
you don't have to figure the tax on
your l945 income. You find the
tax in the table on the back of the
4-page form.
That table shows tax on income
up to $1,000.
You can use the 1040 short form
if your income was less than SIS 900
from. any source and if your de-
ductions-such as for charitable
contributions and medical care
were not more than 10 per cent
of your income.
If your deductions were more
than 10 per cent, don't use the
l040 short form. You'll lose money.
Use the 1040 long form. The rea-
son-and the difference between the
short and long forms-will be ex-
planned here
In filling out the 1040 short form
you start at the top of page / and
work your way down, answering the
questions as you go. You need do
only the simplest kind of arithmetic.
LON mop around.
Most People Need Only Page 1.
Most people will need only page
l. Some, such as those with income
from pensions and annuities, will
have to answer questions on page
2. Then you find your tax in the
table on page 4.
You tear off that first page
pages l and 2 are back to back
and turn it into the internal reve-
nue. collector, personally or by mail.
II you have to pay money, turn
that in with the return.
If you've already overpaid your
tax, there's place on page l where
you indicate whether you want the
overpayment refunded or credited
to your 1916 taxes.
You don't list your deductions
such as for charitable contributions
if they were not more than 10
per cent of your income.

thus automatically gives you 1C
per cent deduction.
But If your deductions actually
were more than 10 per cent OF

Long Form Requires Details.
Using it as a long form-this is
for people with income OF 5000
or more or with deductions over 10

tax and itemize your deductions.
BY itemizing them-when they're

If your combined income was under
