Brothers looked very good In

sOCIALIZED MEDICINES
RECORD

DR.. A. Lexington Jones, of Christ
church, New Zealand, recently spoke
at length on the experience with
government medicine in that coun-
try. In the sourse of it, he posed
and answered three practical ques-
tons which provide a test of the
kind of service socialized medicine
provides.
First, are the people getting their
moneys worth? His answer was an
emphatic no largely for the rea-
son a cumbersome and costly bur
.eaucracy administers the plan.
Second, has the system improved
medical service? Again the answer
is no. Too many people are con-
sulting doctors unnecessarily, on
the grounds that they must pay
a tax for medical attention and
so may as we'll get it whether they
need it or not. AS a reSult( over
worked doctors simply don't have
the time to give each patient the
consideration he should have.
Third, has the system reduced the
incidence of disease? Once more the
answer is no. Little of the money
collected by the government for
