Warning: Most Health Plans
For the Aged Are Inadequate

"grossly limited" with the SO maxi
mum allowance per hospital day about
half the average hospital room and
board charge. disqualification limited
to 81 days is likewise inadequate, he
said, for this age group. There is no
coverage for skilled nursing home
care or non-surgical medical care, and
there is an exclusion of pre-existing
conditions despite the fact that 'few
people reach age 65 without a COM
pick of pre-existing ailments"
In addition, Cruikshank noted, the
companies can cut off policyholder
after Today grace period although
no monthly bill or reminder will be
sent and there is no protection against
statewide premium increases or
against statewide cancellation of the
plans.
Unfortunately, he said, the plans
have been ''seized upon as the Eulti-
mate answer by the dedicated few
whose unstinting efforts are devoted
to preventing older people from get
ting health protection through the
of social security"
The people's voice., 1959-03-27

WASHINGTON, D. C.-The new,
widely advertised health insurance
plans being offered to older persons
in number of states will not solve
the problem of financing the health
needs of the aged, Nelson Cruikshank,
director of the AFL-CIO Dept. of So
cial Security, has warned.
The new plans "offer no funda-
mental solutions" said Cruikshank,
to the critical problem of adequate
health care for the aged. He con-
tinued:
"The present dismal state of health
care for the aged can be substantially
improved through program that will
make broad benefits available to vir-
tually all aged in our country, with
costs shared by employer and employe
and fully paid at the time of retire
ment."
Cruikshank added that the existing
social security system can be readily
used for such program under legis-
lation introduced by Rep. Aime For
and (D-R.L).
An analysis of the plans being of
fered older persons in the new adver-
tising campaign, Cruikshank said,
shows that the cost-about $3.50 per
month-for "scanty coverage" is
borne by the older person alone with
no sharing of costs with groups of
younger people or between employer
and employe.
The cost, coming at a time of trap
idly declining ability to pay" would
mean one out of every eight dollars
of the average retired couples social
security benefits.
The benefits, said Cruikshank. are

AFL-CI0 Economists
Foresee Stable Paw
Raises This Year

"Sizable wage increases should be
the general rule" in collective bar
gaining this year on the basis of the
widespread pickup in production,
rising productivity, and rising profit
margins.
This conclusion is reported in the
current issue of Collective Bargain
ing Report of the AFL-CIO Depart
ment of Research.
The climate is favorable for wage
increases, the Department affirms.
Sharp profit climbs are expected
in most industries and some business
sources predict 1859 net earnings
will reach all time highs.
This business pickup is expected
to contribute greatly to negotiation
of increases as large or larger than
in 1858.

tinued his pathological bull headed
ness at the new Wednesday meeting
of the Board of Examiners. (Wednes-
day doesn't improve things a bit as
far as j. Hugo is concerned.) In loud
voice, "No", he snorted at the three
motions of the board to order Warden
Floyd Powell of the Prison to nego-
tiate union contracts with prison en-
ployees.
James S. TIMBER, president of the
Montana AFL-CIO, and joe Martello
of the State, County and Municipal
Workers Union informed the Exam
iners that Warden Powell had sent
a letter to the effect that he would
not consider contract opening until
after January 1, 1860. The employees
in Deputy Registrar Larry Hoffman's
office have formed Local 1864 and
would like to have some sort of job
security, the type that only a union
contract can provide.
Attorney General Forrest Ander-
son and Secretary of State Frank
Murray being more preceptible of
the problems of working people. di-
rected that Deputy Registrar Hoff-
man get the negotiations completed
"as soon as possible.
The correctional officers have
formed Local 1917 to improve their
working conditions at the prison and
by separate motion their contract |
will be opened "as soon as possible.
Now "as soon as possible" is loose
term but it is a great deal more
workable than Aronson's mo-.
July first, the new prison budget
goes into effect and the organized |
personnel would like to know what
part is theirs so that they may ar
range the affairs of their own lives.
Union contracts are standard oper-
ating procedure at other institutions
of the state. A great deal of the strife
of the riot that happened at the
prison a couple years ago, causing a
national disgrace for Montana, is
directly traceable to the type of con-
ditions that exist when employees do
not have the stability of administra-
ton that a union contract affords.
