| U. 5. Health Needs
Distorted 10 Influence
Public, Doctors Say
BY The Assoeiotsd Pres:

The American Medical Asso-
citation protested today that "a
distorted picture" of the Ma
tons health needs has been
drawn in an effort to influence
public support for a Govern
ment-controlled medical care
program.
AS a positive program" to
cushion the economic shocks Of
illness. an ANA spokesman urged
continued reliance on voluntary
health insurance for those who
can afford it and direct help
from local and State govern
mentS for the INDECENT.
Government health Subsidy"
is not desirable, he continued,
and the problems of the chroni-
cally i'll and the poor can be
solved without changing the "ex-
listing mechanism" of free enter
prise.
The associations position was
outlined in testimony prepared
for the House Commerce Com
mittee by Dr.. Walter B. Martin
of Norfolk, Va, president elect
of ANA and a member of its
board of trustees.
The committee has been con-
Quoting a continuing study of
health needs and ways to ease
the burden of doctor bills on the
American family.
Federal Reserve Study Cited.
DR.. Martin said a Federal Re-
j serve Board survey last year
showed that of SO million FAM
lilies in the United States, 80
per cent reported no medical
debts at all and LESS than 3
/ per cent need help to pay
their medical bills"
/ DR.. Martin said two groups
must be considered separately.
The first group he defined as
those able to pay the normal
costs of illness and medical care
OF them. he asserted:
THE American Medical Asso-
citation believes that voluntary
health insurance provides one
of the best methods by which
the average American can
finance substantial portion of
his medical and health COSTS"
Warns of Abuses"
It is desirable. DR.. Martin
added, that individuals assume
the costs Of normal illness to
prevent ABUSES" of their health
insurance coverage. which might
result. he said, from seeking
comprehensive" benefits.
"A certain amount of medical
care is expectable on any family
budget" he said.
1.-THE frankly INDECENT are
dependent on outside help for
the basic necessities of life" DR..
Martin said, and the ANA be-
lieves 1.-The medical care of this
group Is a local and State gov
eminent responsibility. No pro-
gram Of health insurance is
practical for this group since
they are unable to purchase it"
School Aid Opposed.
1t is the AMA's position, DR..
Martin said, that "our most
urgent effort" should be direct
ed to solving the problems of
the medically INDECENT and
chronically i'll.
DR.. Martin said the ANA is
convinced that Federal financial
assistance to medical schools for
operating purposes is not desir-
able" but that it approves Fed
eral money grants for cOnstruc-
ton and renovation of medical
school buildings.
He also Endorsed the use of
Federal funds for developing
nursing schools, aiding a nurse
recruitment program and pro-
viding scholarships for advanced
nursing education.
He reiterated the ANA APP
prevail of Federal legislation for
hospital construction.

mer, line coach at George Wash

I'VE should show definite i'm

One of those Sadusky is coun-

BY all accounts, Blair appears
headed for another victory and
