By SEN. JAMES E. MURRAY

Washington-There is scarcely an
individual or family in this country
so we'll off that it need not fear the
costs of unexpected illness.
Millions of otherwise self-support-
ing and self-respecting Americans
know that should illness strike, med
ical and hospital bills could run into
thousands of dollars and their only
recourse would be the loan shark or
public charity.
Even worse than this, perhaps, is
the fact that through fear of the
costs of modern medical care, our
people do not take advantage of pre-
ventive medicine; instead of calling
on the doctor early enough for him
to keep us well we are forced to put
it off until the ailment is serious and
its treatment expensive.
To put it briefly, modern Amer
lean medical care is among the
best in the world but most Amer
leans can't afford it.
Yet this need not be. Long ago
we Americans discovered that prob
lens which no family could solve in
could easily be solved
when we acted together. We can
make the best of medical care avail
able to all our people, in a self-re-
speeding way and at price we can
afford. We can do it through ma
tional health insurance.
We have done it already for three
of the four big worries that used to
afflict our families. The fear of
what would happen if the breadwin-
ner were injured at work is no longer
with US, nor is the abject fear of

To the Presbytery of Great Falls, in
Session at Conrad, Montana
Dear Sirs;
"Follow Me-, said Jesus. Down
through the ages, the worlds finest
men and women have been respond
ing to that call.
The Board of Education through
it's Division of Social Education and
Action, has answered, eve will'.
The February, 1949, issue of Social
Progress, falls into step with Jesus
in the matter of race relations. Just
last month March, 1949) the Social
Progress Bulletin makes it plain that
a very large body of Presbyterians
are resolved to march in the ranks
of those who follow Jesus. DR.. Paul
Polling, secretary of our Division of

out the Social Progress Bulletin un-
der our board of Christian Educa-

Any reader of this March issue of

AMERICAN MEDICAL CARE is TOPS
FOR THOSE WHO CAN AFFORD 1T

unemployment or pennlleSS old age.
We got together and passed work.
mems compensation laws, unemploy-
ment insurance laws, and old-age in
surance laws. Each time we were
told it couldn't or shouldn't be done.
We were told it was un-American,
foreign, rulnous. But we weren't
frightened by these labels hurled
about by selfish, self-seeking individ-
uals. We went ahead and together
insured ourselves against three of
the great threats to American family
life, and in each case, it worked.
Now we can and must remove
the fourth threat, the threat of the
costs of illness. National health
insurance can do the Job.
What is national health insurance?
A simple plan whereby everyone
would contribute a small amount
each week, in proportion to his in
come, into a national health insur-
ance fund. In return he would
know that his doctor and hospital
bills would be paid from that fund.
Instead of being called on for large
amounts when i'll, we would pay
small amounts regularly when well.
How would it work? Under my
(the administration bill, the en-
ployed person would pay 1 u percent
of his salary = $50 a year if he
earned $4,000; $45 a year if he
earned $4,000, never more than $54
no matter what his income His en-
ployer would add similar amount.
These payments would cover the
worker and his family. The federal
government would add to this the
difference between what our people
can afford to pay and what it costs
to give them necessary care. The
doctors decide the latter. We would
then set up health insurance fund
for each local community in the
land. The funds would be run and
managed by your own local people,
Under our plan, you would go to
your own doctor just as you do now.
The bill guarantees your freedom to
choose and change your doctor. Your
doctor would treat you just as he
thinks best. The bill guarantees him
the right to join or not to join the
program. 1t guarantees him polit-
cal, economic, and professional free
1om.
The main differences would be
CD that the bills would be sent to
the insurance fund and not to you,
and CD that the doctor would be
free to give you the best care you
needed without having to ask
whether or not you could afford it.
My bill does not change the prac-
ice of medicine, it merely changes
he way we pay for it. In place of
'ur present haphazard, unpredict-
BILE, and burdensome method, we
would substitute the American way
f insurance.
