Survey Shows Health
insurance Increases

with national attention focueaf
Oh the problems of financing beaIt[
care as indicated in Praeidont
Elsenhower's message to Congress-
health Information Foundation has
maze public the first national con
sumner survey of medical costs in
twenty years. "
This authoritative study was CON
quoted by the National Opinion Re
search Center of the University of
ChlcagO under a grant of S150OOO
from HE and reveals the extent of
voluntary health insurance in the
united States and the amounts maid
Py Families for health care in one
year.
IL was found that more than fen
billion dollars was paid bv families
lor medical costs last year and that
doctors and hospitals received more
IMAM half that amount. Nearly ninety
million people have some kind of
insurance to tighten the burden of
medical costs.
Benehts received from insurance
cover half the national hospital
costs and 1870 of the surgical costs
1870 OF the nations total medical
Dill IS covered by insurance benefits.
Inc families surveyed in this
study represent validated sample
OF the national population. The
average family cost for medical
care IN one year is $2O5. but more
than million families spend 30 IN
IOO%O or more of their yearly income
on medical costs. A total medi,.aI
DEBT of more than one billion
dollars is owed by 16G5 Of the
nations families.
1t had been assumed that rural
areas have less enrolment in voIun-
tary health insurance than urban
areas, and the survey substantiated
thls by showing that 20 per cent of
urban families have some Insurance
and 40 per cent of rural-farm fami- |
lies have some insurance. Hitherto
unknown, however, was the fact
that insured rural-farm population
mad hospital admission rate of
II per 100 and the insured urban |
population had a rate of IL per 100 |
Commenting on the significance of
the survey figures released, Mr.
Kenneth Williamson, Executive Vice
President of HIF said: "The study
underlines the Presidents state
ment that private and non-proft
health insurance organizations
should be encouraged to offer
broader health protection to more
families. The problem is to find n
mechanism through which health
needs can be met. At crucial stage
in our health planning, HIFs study
provides much-needed information
and we believe it will be of great
toward solving this prob
lem"
Health Information Foundation is
nOn-profit, non-political organi-
cation sponsored by the drug. phar-
maceutical, chemical and allied in
dustries to conduct research and
public information programs on
