VIEW Suggests
Michigan Plan
For Vet Care

A recommendation that Missis-
sippi follow the Michigan Plan
in the treatment of veterans was
voted unanimously by the Elmer
Joseph Grant post. Veterans of
Foreign Wars, at their regular
meeting in Pascagoula Monday
night.
The recommendation will be
made to the state department of
the VFW for transmission on app.
prevail to the Mississippi Medical
Association. The matter will also
be brought up by the local post
at a district meeting of the WV
in Gulfport the latter part of
next month.
The Michigan Plan, is was ex-
planned, involves an arrangement
with local physicians whereby
veterans may obtain in and out
patient treatment from their own
doctors, the expense to be borne
by the Veterans Administration.
Such a system prevents delay
and red tape involved in OBJ
tanning necessary treatment at
hospitals Of the Veterans Admin
istration, it was pointed out, and
will be a saving to the tax payers
who must bear the expenses OF
an extensive hospital building
program exclusive for veterans.
Cases involving EXTENDED hos
pitalization would still be handled
by veterans hospitals under the
plan.
