Hospital Joins Blue Cross Plan

The Griffin Memorial Hospi. tai has become affiliated with the Washington Hos ital Service Association. a Blue Cross, agen cy, it announces.
 The Blue Cross is an organi. zation for hospital insurance and is nationwide, having been form- ed aboat 10 years ago at Baylor, Texas.
 The plan works like this: a group of employees, or employer and employees, forms together, with minimum of five persons, to pay premium fees to the Blue Cross directly
 In return, these persons may use that insurance at any hDspl- tai that belongs to the Blue Cross. Non affiliated hospitals also make some allowances for such insurance, but not as much as affiliated ones
 Individuals may also join the Blue Cross and pay 8 higher premium than they would as members of the group Premi- ums are usually deducted from salaries, and paid to the agency.
 The Blue Cross, the hospital pointed out lis one of the major sociological developments in this country in the past 10 years " It had it's origin when a group of Baylor teachers persua ed their hospital to accept $3 a semester in return for Fl days of hospital care for anyone who might need it. The idea grew, ano two years later the Amer can Hospital As sociation endorsed tt, setting up standards. Now the Blue Cross commission of the AHA alone can grant the right to use the emblem and issue a charter.
 The plan must be non profit, sponsors must permit all who join to insure their families at slight additional cost, and the patient must be allowed to make his own choice of doctor.
 The Blue Cross hospital insur- ance glves complete security to workers in moderate and low in- come brackets, the hospital pointed out
 Full details and information are avai able at the hospital.
