THE FORAND BILL - When
Holland spoke Of taking up other
important business during the cur

came a little vague. AS a conserva-

he was not talking about the For

Hollands conversation was 'elab-
grated upon in a panel show put
on by News Associates, a new serv-
ice for radio stations that origin
ates in the Capitol. In the give
and-take with reporters several
things emerged. He expects Senate
Democratic Leader Lyndon B.
Johnson to water down the civil
rights bin until it is palatable to
the Old South.

Although it has received scant
attention in the press, it has be-
come the subject of a tremendous
propaganda barrage by the Amer
lean Medical Assn. Recently I
asked several newspapermen if
they knew about the measure or
what it provided. Two said they
had not heard Of it, a third said
he became interested in the meas
ure when he began to notice the
vehemence Of the ANA attacks.
A fourth said he was familiar with
the measure because a doctor ask
ed him if it was some more Soc
ialized medicine"
Outside the halls Of Congress the
debate over the Forand bill pro-
ceeds furiously. But since hardly
anyone knows what it does, a
brief run down might be in order.
What it would do is provide hos
pital, surgical and nursing home
treatment, under federal supervis-
ion, for some 10000, 900 older citi-
zens eligible for social security
payments.
The ANA has put out a small
pamphlet describing the measure.
The title sums up the ANA atti-
tude, POLITICAL MEDICINE IS
BAD MEDICINE"
1t begins:
Political medicine is the type
Of medicine this country could ex-
pect IL a measure now before
Congress were made law 1t
would mean red tape, bureaucratic
control, high costs and inferior
medical care. Further, 1t would
establish a system Of socialized
medicine for a large segment Of
the population. Americans rejected
socialized medicine in 1850. But
here it is again under a different
label"
1 wonder, in view Of the Kefau-
yer inquiry on the high cost Of
drugs, If the ANA makes a good
case for the medical profession
when its arguments are pitched to
such an emotional level?
