SHARE YOUR WISDOM
BY Dr.. Thomas r. Gaines

Any human being Is worth saving. Each person is a pro-
duct OF God. We are not designed to be cannon fodder or
helpless humans. Potentially We are gods in the making"
Before we can see ourselves as God sees US, we must have
vision. Those OF us who have vision should help others to
acquire it, and soon all the people will be lifted up in con-
seriousness and all of us will be dwelling together in peace
and harmony on the top of a hill. The richness Of life
springs from the common good. As we work and strive for
the welfare of all people, truly we are world benefactors.

was the increased interest of the

Reinsurance Plan
o. the As.oeIoted prs..

CHICAGO. Jan. 25. - The
general detectives Of President
Eisenhower's health program to-
day had American Medical Asso-
citation Endorsement, but the
AN1A's Board of Trustees Sum
day questioned whether the pro-
grams reinsurance plan was IAN
other Government subsidy"
A statement given after a meet
ing of the trustees, called by DR..
Edward j. Mccormick, ANA
president. said it was pleased to
find in this (the Presidents jan
uary Is message to Congress)
message so many of the ideas and
principles for which the Ameri-
can Medical Association has
striven for SO many years."
But concerning the Eisen-
hover proposal for a $25 million
fund to reinSure private health
insurance programs-the stated
objective of which would be to
give increased benefits to sub
scribers without increasing the
cost to them-the ANA trustees
said:
1T is not clear whether this
Is true reinsurance or another
form Of Government subsidy.
The whole subject needs careful
study and until the plan is
spelled out in detail, the ANA
can make no further comment"
The ANA statement. said it
approved the general detectives
to increase voluntary health
insurance coverage and to re-
habilitate the disabled, but
added:
There are certain basic prin-
ciples which the ANA feels are
essential: There must be free
choice of physicians and hos
pitfalls; the program must be
founded on sound actuarial data
and there must be no direct or
indirect control of the program
by the Government"
