u. 5. Hospitals Back
Insurance Program
Rejected by Doctors
BY the Assoeiotsd Press

CHICAGO, Dec. 1.-THE Ameri.
can Hospital Association threw its
support today behind q Nationwide
voluntary health insurance program
a project in which the American
Medical Association has refused tc
take part.
The health insurance program will
be offered by the Blue Gross Com.
mission. which operates q National
disqualification insurance program.
The hospital association, in an.
|nouncing its support, said the health
service would augment the serv-
ices now offered by the IS Blue
Cross plans serving 100000 per-
sons throughout the 48 States"
Insured Against Doctor Bills.
A spokesman for the American
Hospital Association gave this ex-
ample:
The subscriber could insure him
self against doctor bills incurred
while he was in the hospital. He
said this feature probably would
apply wherever agreements can be
made with local (Blue Shield med.
ical care plans sponsored by the
American Medical Association.
The ANA, at its convention early
this month in st. Louis, refused ar
invitation of the Blue Cross Com.
mission to merge forces in the
undertaking. Under the Blue Cross
proposal, a subscriber could be in.
sured both against hospital bills
and medical costs.
The ANA, a spokesman here said
today, objected to the Blue Cross
proposal for formation Of an in.
surance company to administer the
program. 1t held out for Ma
tional agency to enroll such per-
sons in existing ANA medical care
plans.
Agency Authorized.
The ANA spokesman added that
the ANA has authorized the forma-
ton of National agency to handle
uniformly benefits under local ANA
medical care (blue shield plans. He
added that he saw no conflict be-
tween the two plans.
The hospital association Board OF
Trustees said in unanimously ap-
proving the Blue Cross plan that
it "reaffirmed their confidence In
voluntary prepayment as the most
effective means Of bringing high
quality hospital care within the
reach of all the people"
Blue Cross plans to incorporate
the new company. to be known as
Blue Cross Health Service, Inc, in
