In Denmark health insurance
grew up on a voluntary basis as
long ago as the second half of
last century Workers and small
farmers Joined together in health
insurance societies and funeral
clubs Since 1892 these societies
have received certain subsidies
from public funds. Although vol
untary, the largest group of the
less well-to-do part of the pop
ulation Joined the nsura n e
scheme.
In 1888, about SO per cent of
the adult Danish population were
members of health insurance So
cieties. In that year social legis-
lation was revised, and it became
the duty of every person between
the ages of Fl and 60 who was
not an active member at a health
insurance society to became a
passive member Passive men,
bership carries no direct right to
benefits but entities the member,
regardless of age or change in
his health, to become an active
member at any time if his income
does not exceed the earnings of
a skilled worker in full employ
ment. But it is still voluntary
whether or not a person wants
to be an active member of the
societies. Yet about 80 per cent
of the adult population are active
members. And many who are I'M
able to be members of the health
insurance societies because their
income is too high, subscribe to

How Health Insurance Works In Denmark

for members of the health-insur-
ance societies.
In Denmark almost all the hos
pitfalls are public, and are ad-
ministered for the most of them
by local authorities. Some cate
gories are administered differ
emily; the mental hospitals are
run by the State, the tuberculosis
sanatoria by the National Anti
tuberculosis Association. Certain
other institutions are run by the
State or by private bodies with
Government support.
The present plan provides for
the establishment of at least one
central hospital in each county.
Besides these County Central
Hospitals, there are in each
county some smaller hospitals
with a surgically trained chief
medical officer for urgent and
not too complicated cases. The
best possible medical surgical
treatment is available to the peo-
pie even in the rural districts and
in remote parts of the country.
In 1916 there were 1874 general
hospitals with altogether $4,000
beds for medical and surgical
diseases, corresponding to 60 per
1000 population.
In addition, there were 4,4OO
beds for tuberculosis and beds
for mental cases totalled 10000.
Infirmaries and private clinics
would provide beds corresponding
to 100 per 1000 population.

Norway Fears Freer Trade, Competition

Several statements have appear
ed in Norway recently concerning
the dangers and difficulties which
accompany the liberalization of in
ternational trade as recommended
by OEEC and ECA. The Norwe-
gian National Budget issued this
month had this comment:
1.-The inclusion of much of our
imports from Western Europe on
free lists make it less likely that
we can achieve our primary goal
in the reconstruction period, name
ly to bring about a natural bal
ance in our foreign payments. The
free lists must make the compo-
sition of Norwegian imports less
satisfactory from the social point
of view and will mean a reduced
import of goods which could not
be included on the free lists. Be-
cause Norway has a very large
import in relation to national in
come, the free lists affect us con-
siderably more than most Euro
pean countries. The cuts in the

The health-insurance societies
provide for free medical attention,
including maternity aid, from
general practitioners and most of
them also pay to a certain extent
for specialist and dental treat
ment and provide below cost
medicine. Throughout the country
general practitioners are active

In principle, members have free

the health-insurance society a
fixed fee per member, or fixed

The societies also pay sickness
benefits. How much, depends on
his amount of sickness benefit
policy.
All hospital treatment to men,
bers of health-insurance societies
is free. The societies pay a small
part of the actual cost per pa

1850 investment program must to
a great extent be attributed to
this situation. However, OEEC
cooperation and the large Ameri-
can appropriations shared by Nor
way are so important to Norwe-
gian economy that it has been
thought right to adapt our coun-
try's economic policy in 1850 in ac-

Import Surplus a Danger
Discussing the question in it's
latest issue the semi-official Nor
wegian Export Review remarks:
1T has recently become evident
that the official Norwegian view
point as to the means which
should be employed to solve for
eign trade problems cannot with
out great difficulty be reconciled
with the American view which
now appears to gain ground in
western Europe. This difference of
view is conditioned by two things:
Norway's exceedingly great de-
pendence on imports of all kinds

pun
power which still exists in Nor
way. Full employment means
greater total purchasing power
and the policy Of equalizing in
comes which is now being pur-
sued must also have a consider
able influence on demand"
The Norwegian Export Review
goes on to say that this demand
must largely be directed at for
eign goods, while it is unlikely
that full employment and equali-
cation of incomes will promote
greater exports. Under a system
of completely free imports there
will therefore, be a strong tend
ency toward a permanent import
surplus. This is an important rea-
son for Norways dilemma with re-
gard to the various forms of in
ternational economic cooperation.
Everything suggests that the con
tradiction between the employ
ment and leveling policy on the
one hand and the international de-
mand for liberalization and ex-
panson of world trade on the 9TH
er will be a source of anxiety also
in the long run"
Is Free Competition a Cure Now:
In Oslo last week the Norwe-
gian and Danish Trade Ministers
also expressed anxiety about the
dangers accompanying a prema-
ture liberalization of international
trade. In his Introductory remarks
to a discussion on scandinavian
and International Economic Coop
Grafton" the Danish Trade Minis
ter, J. o. Krag. said that free
competition might be healthy for
Western Europe, but the dose
must not be so strong that it
kills the patient. He also pointed
out that there is no certainty that
free competition can quickly press
down costs in such a conservative
economic structure as Western
Europe. A precipitate liberaliza-
ton can bring about a decline in
production and employment to-
gether with an increased currency
consumption and reduced invest
ment possibilities. We feel a GER
tain anxiety that this can intro
duce a depression which can have
very regrettable consequences"
Norway's Trade Minister, Erik
Brofoss, agreed that too hasty
liberalization of trade might be
dangerous. "The system now put
forward in Paris" said Mr.. Bro
floss, "is technically not very diff
ferent from the system which pre-
vailed in the inter-war years, and
we know the consequences of that
system. The effects will be very
different for countries which try
to- safeguard full employment and
stable wage and price levels. and
for countries which are willing to
use employment to establish q
formal balance"

Once upon a time there was a

keep scorpions out of your home
