the 'pauper'S oath" and
goes on the welfare.
There are variations, of
course, depending upon the in
dividual family situation. Chill
dren may be able to help post
pone the final step with money
they have set aside for their
own cflildren's education.
But II there are no children
able to help, If expenses are
more than the average, or in
come less, the process viii be
accelerated.
And while it may be true
that no one in this country
Is refused the medical care he
needs, / know that there are
thousands upon thousands Of
older people, too proud to ask
for that care II they do not
have the means to pay for it,
and unwilling to be a burden
to their children who are
struggling to raise families Of
their own.
They would rather live with
pain, with death looking over
their shoulder.
The struggle to remain indie
pendent in the face of over
whelming odds makes a mock
cry of the stereotyped picture
of the Golden Years"
How has it come about?
Periodically, it is an indica-
tion of our ability to provide a
better life for our citizens. We
have a Population Explosion"
at both ends of the life span.
People are living longer. The
diseases, the malnutrition, the
working and living conditions
that existed in earlier centuries
would have prevented most of
our present problem. Many of
the people now old would have
died in their youth or in their
prime.
In 1900, there were 81 mil
lion people 65 or over in the
United States. Only one out of
every Is persons then living
was 65 or over. How different
the situation today! According
to the 1860 Census, we had 1876
million aged, one out of every
IL people in our population.
And people are not just living
to be 65, more of them are liv-
ing on into their 70's, SOS and
COS, even into their second cen
fury. During the years be.
tween 1850 and 1860 alone, the
number of people aged IS or
older increased by 60 percent.
In 1860, there We're nearly !
million persons who had ex.
ceeded the Biblical three score
and ten by Is years or more.
More than 10 million of the
people now 65 or over are eligi.
BILE for social security benefits
today, based on a principle
adopted by our Nation 81 years
ago - the principle that every
member Of the labor force and
his family should be insured
against the haunting fear OF
loss of income caused by re,
urement. But there remains a
significant gap that denies to
all but those with the highest

Hospitals Won't
Be OvercrOwded

One of the other objections
raised by the ANA to health
insurance under social secur-
ity for older Americans is that
1t would OvercrOwd the hOspi.
tails. This argument bangs
right up against another of
its claims that the aged now
get all the medical care they
need. 1t should also be noted
that since only a doctor could
arrange for admitting some
one to the hospital, doctors
would have the control over
who would and who would
not be admitted, based upon
their medical Judgment of
each patients need for care.
What will happen is that more
old people will be able to get
the care they need with dignity.
So more will be in our hospi-
tails and nursing homes when
they should be.
If more hospitals and nurs-
ing homes are needed, then we
should build them, not keep peo-
pie from getting the hospital
and nursing home care they
need.
Now, there has been the
charge that the proposed plan
would impair the doctor-patient
relationship - that the Govern
ment would intrude into the
examining room" This simply
could not happen. The legisla-
ton specifically prohibits it,
moreover, the plan would not
cover physicians fees. l con-
slider this allegation an unfair
reflection upon the integrity of
our practicing physicians. In
1860, almost one-third of doctors
income for services to private
patients came from health in
surance organizations. 1 GER
tainly do not think that the
doctor-patient relationship in
these cases was impaired in any
way. Nor do l believe that any
doctor would permit his medical
judgment and treatment to be
influenced by the source of pay
ment he was to receive for his
services.
In addition to paying for up
to 80 days of disqualification for
a single illness tower and above
$40 a day for the first nine
days., the proposed plan would
also pay full costs of up to
100 days of nursing home care
following release from the hos
pital; 240 visits in the patients
home a year by visiting nurses,
therapists and other health
specialists and all charges over
$40 for outpatient diagnostic
service. The type of service in
each instance would be deter.
mined by the persons own doc.
tor, based upon his medical
judgment of which services best
fitted the needs of his patient.
No means test, no investiga.
ton of financial resources, or
"pauper's oath" would be re.
quired. Every person 65 or over
and eligible to receive social
security or railroad retirement
benefits would be covered.
With this basic protection
provided against the highest
and most unpredictable costs OF
illness in old age, people would
be motivated to build upon that
basic protection with private
policies covering physicians and
dentists services and drug costs,
for example. I would look for.

will conduct the meeting. and
all tobacco farmers who plan
to sell united tobacco are urg-
ed to attend.
In view of the fact that the
first five days OF tobacco sales
will be united tobacco. and
since many farmers are un-
familiar with the handling Of
united tobacco. we feel that
this meeting will clear up any
questions farmers may have.
We want 10 see that they get

tion. Cyrus said.

ing and bring out some views

He will also give a demon

sponsored by the vocational

Belt markets will undoubtedly
open the same day as South
Carolina markets, and indica-
tons of an early opening of
South Carolina markets were
seen tins week as officials of

Warehouse Association prepar-
ed I" meet next Friday to set
the date officially.
The date most frequently
mentioned among South Caro-
lima tobacco men is July 30
Monday-with tobacco men
saying such an opening would
allow warehouses to get the
five days of loose leaf sales out
of the way in one complete
week and be ready the follow
ing Monday for the sales of
graded and tied leaf.
Such an opening would mean
that South Carolina markets
would open close on the heels
Of Georgia markets that in the
past have claimed goodly
portion of South and North

ketS are to open Thursday July
