HOSPITAL NOTES

The operating financial cOndi-
tions of most every hospital in this
land of ours is very critical. The
cost of everything necessary to
proper operation has Of course
gone up in proportion to your cost
Of living. If the rates for hOspi-
tai services had been raised in that
same proportion very few people
would be able to take advantage of
hospital care.
Some Of our people have gotten
the idea that the state and the
county will pay the hospital if the
patient claims that he is INDECENT
and unable to pay. The State Leg
islature does make an appTOpTi-
alton to each nOn-profit hospital to
reimburse the hospital for care of
people who are sent in by welfare
workers and others brought in by
state police.
The county commissioners pay
the hospital $4OO per day for peO-
pie who can honestly sign an affi-
davit that they are without money,
property or any means OF support.
This payment of $4OO per day does
not cover the cost of room and
board to say nothing about nursing
care, medication, laboratory and
X-ray services. The cost of Oper-
ating this hospital in 194S for the
six months ending June 80 was
$11.S4 per day per patient.
There is a penalty against taking
false affidavit for securing bene-
fits if the county officers care to
enforce it of $1,OOO.OO fine or a year
in Jail. So, if you owe this hos
pital an account of any amount
won't you help us by paying all or
part of your account as soon as
possible.
