Do You Want Taft A.M.A. Or Real Health Insurance :?
What kind of health Legislation for A1,oor;co0

What kind of health legislation for America?
 That question, carrying as it does terrific impact upon the nations people, may be answered by the 80th Congress as 1t returns to the capital next month for the second session.
 On the one hand there is a type of health legislation built within the bounds set by the American Medical Assn. and containing the maximum advances that the doc tors union is willing to go toward what it feels is specialized medi- cine"
 The other approach is far more liberal and is designed to meet the needs of the poorer groups as well as the middle income classes now lacking sufficient medical care be- cause of the high cost of private medical care.
 Backing the AMA's limited health bill is a group of four of the most re- actionary of the Senate's Republi- cans: Senator Robert A. Taft (R, O.; Joseph H. Ball (R, Minn) ; Forrest Donne1l (R, Mol and H. Alexander Smith (R, N. J.).
 Support for the broader approach comes from Senators James Murray CD, Mont.) Claude Pepper CD, Fla. ), Glen Taylor CD, Ida), J. Howard McGrath CD, R. I.) and Robert F. Wagner CD, N. Y.).
 LABOR FOR TT
 Organized labor, led by the AFL and CIO nationally, has supported the Murray health bill along with the Natl. Farmers Union, the Americans for Democratic Action, Progressive Citizens of America, the Natl. Law yers Guild and various social service and consumers groups, along with the Committee for the Nations Health.
 The ANA backs the Taft proposal along with it's affiliated groups in or ganized medicine. Taft has frankly described his measure (S. 545) as a bill to help the indigent. It is planned to give federal grants to states to pay for medical services, disqualification and surgical expenses for. those with insufficient money to pay for them. Taft has declared this amounts to about quarter of the US. popu1a- tion, and would authorize $200 million year for five years to the states on the basis of per capita income and population. To qualify for the money, however states would be required to match the US. funds dollar for dol lar.
 The Murray bill (S. 132O) calls for system of national health in- surance to provide for the cost of medical, dental and hospital care and covering everyone now pro- tected by federal social security

1 laws with the addition of farm and domestic workers now excluded from that protection.
 Instead of protecting the One- fourth in the lowest possible income group, the Murray proposal en- visions coverage of somewhat more than three-fourths of the popula- ton through a prepaid plan, taking deduction of 3.5% from the wages of those participating.
 Any qualified physician, hospital or nurse is made eligible to practice un- der the bill, which includes provision for building up the medical protection in rural areas avoided by many medi- cal practitioners because of the re- lative1y simmer chance of making a living.
 NOT AUGMENTATION
 To the argument that the Murray bill is regimentation the answer is that patients shall have a choice of any doctor they choose (so long as he has agreed to participate) and that hospitals and doctors can't provide services unless there has been a free choice by the patient
 While strikes caused the loss of more than 100 million man-days in the past year, illnses causes the loss of some 600 million man-days.
 If compulsory school attendance is in the national interest and not undemOcratic-why should com- pulsory health care be regarded by free enterprisers as regimentation or dictatorial?

national health insurance. If the peo- pie want it, they should have it.
 But despite the desires of the people, the Both Congress is bound to see a long battle over the sub- ject, and its realization may come only after the voters have cast their ballots again in l948.
