INSURANCE FOR
HEALTH-SEcURITY

Editors Note: This Is the con-
Guiding instaIIment Of an article
by DIR. Thomas johnson, q prac-
ticing physician in Minneapolis
who Is concerned about certain
aspects of health Insurance es-
peciaIly for the aged. The first
installment appeared I'm the Oct.
=, edition Of this newspaper. DR..
JOhnsOn's thesis has attracted
widespread comment.
BY THOMAS JOHNSON, M. ID.
Concluding Installment)
There are a number Of argu-
ments put forth against national
health insurance such as:
() The insurance would be used
to take care Of people who are not
working. This argument creates
hostility in the working individual
because he does not like the idea of
having to take care Of the indiv-
idual who does not like to work.
Whether he likes it or not, it Is
the working man already who is
footing the bill through his taxes
supporting the city hospitals and
the welfare departments.
(2) Government insurance would
interfere with dOctOr-patient rela-
tiOnship. The best feeling that
could be manifested in this rela-
tionship is for the patient to feel
that during his healthy period he
had provided for his hospital and
doctor bill to be paid
1t should relieve the doctor and
hospital of the feeling they must
prey on the sick. The more sick
and disabled the individual, the
bigger the bill. Even though the
illness may have made the family
destitute, the doctor and hospital
bill must be paid. And there are
collecting agencies to see that the
bills are paid Under the present
doctor-patient relationship, the re-
lationship is very much in favor Of
the doctor.
90 Government insurance would
hamper the progress In medicine.
The progress in medicine Is being
made by institutions government
endowed, government aided, and
some privately endowed institu-
lions.
The men who work in these or
CARNATIONS have little or nothing
to do with direct care Of patients.
Doctors in private practice con-
tribute little or nothing to medical
progress.
"a Government insurance would
regulate doctors fees. Doctors
should be able to decide what is q
Just and fair compensation for
services rendered. If they are not
capable Of deciding, then they
should have their fields regulated.
If the doctor felt that a certain

The Community Chest is en-
tirely controlled by citizens of the
area" Leach said this week. The

campaign is directed entirely by
local volunteers, and there Is local
control Of the money raised and
the services provided. Books Of the
Chest are audited at least once
each year by certified public &C
countants
Contributors should be glad to

fits in particular from Chest funds

clan would have wide leeway
in making this decision.
At present, the District has
no formal policy on the uues-
ton OF birth control at the
hospital. The response to a
request for birth control aid is
up TO the individual physician.
In some cases. the physician
advises the patient to consult
the Planned Parenthood AS
ISOLATION. In no case are con-
traceptive devices distributed.
When a Catholic patient seeks
the information from a Prot
estant doctor. the usual pro-
cedure is to refer him to a
physician Of his own faith or
to a priest.
AS a general rule, it was ex-
planned. hospital staff members
do not volunteer the infoma-
ton.
There is no District law which
forbidS the dissemination of
the information or the devices.
However. there are Federal
statutes prohibiting the trans
portation in interstate COM
mtrce or importation into this
country of anything intended
to prevent conception, Mr..
Grace said.
The Corporation Counsel ex-
planned, however. that the
courts have held that a physi-
clan may assist his patient in
the use Of contraceptive devices
when the doctor decides it is
necessary from the health
standpoint.
The local birth control issue
was raised again last year by
the clergy committee of the
Planned Parenthood Associa-
ton. This development came
after the Junior Village Com
mittee Of the District Healh
and Welfare Counctil, studying
q recommendation that the
District give birth control in
formation. decided to delete
this proposal from a report re-
leased last November on the
plight Of the city's poor.
Both Mr.. Karrick. who super
vises City Health Department
matters. and Commissioner
Robert z. Mclaughlin have
said they approve giving birth
control information to city hos
pital patiens. Mr.. Karrick said
he would refer Roman Catholic
patients who inquire to their
priests or Catholic physicians.
Mr.. McLaughlin's position is
that the information should be
made available to any patient
who asks for it.

changes mean that the bill
must go to the House and prob
ably to conference. which could
delay final passage until May
or June. But most observers are
confident the bill will pass be-
fore adjournment.
Senator Heating, Repub-
lican of New York, called the
the Kefauver amendment a
"devasta ting blow" which would
"scuttle" the referee plan. He
said the amendment was an
invitation to intimidation" and
announced he would try to
eliminate 1t in the Senate.
The broadening Of the court
obstruction penalty to cover
all cases probably will bring a
move in the Senate to elm
mate this section entirely be-
cause organized labor is re-
ported to be against its possible

broadened to apply to any case,
including labor disputes.
Although the Southerners
numbered only 5 on the Is
man Judiciary Committee. they
mustered enough Northern
support to hold the upper hand
on the major decisions yester-
day.
In contrast, the liberals
failed in two attempts to make
the bill more to their liking.
Senator Heating was beaten,
10 to 3, on a move to write in
an Endorsement Of the Supreme
Court school decisions. He
also lost. 7 to 6, in trying to
insert the administration pro-
posal for Federal aid to COM
munities trying to integrate
their schools.
Waiver Rejected
( Senator Carroll, Democrat OF
Colorado, also was beaten In
an attempt to make it easier
for the court referees to con-
fer voting status on Negroes.
He proposed that the court be
given discretion to waive some
of the requirements in the
House bill which must precede
the enrolment Of q voter by
the referee.

Of Missouri, lost. 8 to 6, in an
effort to give the Government

The amendment to require
public hearings before the vot-
ing referees was offered by Sen
ator Kefauver, Democrat OF
Tennessee, and reads as fol-
lows:
THE hearing shall be held
in a public office. The referee
shall give the county or State
registrar 2 days written notice
of the time and place of the
hearing, and such State OF
county registrar or his counsel
shall have the right to appear
and to make transcript Of the
proceedings"
Disagree on Meaning
Senators disagreed over the
seriousness of the amendment
Senator Erwin, Democrat OF
. North Carolina, said it meant
the local officials could be pres.
ent to see and hear, but not tc
talk. Senator Heating thought
the counsel for State officials
, would hardly appear without
taking some part in the pro.
ceedings. The New Yorker con-
, strued the amendment to near
that "if you had 200 Negroe,
applying for registration, il
would take 400 days to regis.
ter them"
