CLARK Chairman American' Economic Foundation As .7 Si5 Dr, Ernst P. Boas Chairman , Physicians Forum for Study of Medical Care; Assistant Professor of Clinical Medicine , Columbia University Dr. Morris Fishbein Editor, Journal, American Medical Association, and Hygeia, the Health Magazine DR. BOAS OPENS: The proposal is not to socialize medicine, but to spread 'Its benefits democratically to all; to view the profession of medicine as a social Instrument rather than a private enterprise run for the benefit of doctors and other purveyors of medical care. The practice of medicine cannot be conducted in an ivory tower isolated .from society. It must consostantly adapt itself to changestoin wit: cial structure and ideology, DR. FISHBEIN OPENS: The weak. ness of American medicine is the ex. tent of its distribution. Any servicl that means so much to every human being ought to be available in largd measure to all the people. Under our vstem of free enterprise many planl for providing adequate medical cars are being developed without paying the price of governmental control and socialized medicine. These include group prepayment, hospital insurance plans, Blue Cross plans developed under principles approved by the medical profession. More than 15 million people are now covered by the hospitalization plan, additional millions are being insured against various phases of medical catastrophe. None of the socialized plans do al much for the indigent as is now dons in the United States. Socialization ol medicine inhibits progress and lower the quality of medical service. It builds bureaucracy and introduce political patronage. It interferes in the confidential relationship of doctor and patient It depreciates medical education, training, and research. The willingness of the medical profession to assume leadership in further experimentation toward an evolution' of medical practice that would widely extend the services makes control. unnecessary governmental The danger of such security, as offered by the Bill, is for the sake of an apparent immediate benefit. People surrender control over their lives to a federal agency compelling obedience and servility to the bureaucracy in .'.ijp O' ii &rs s-- e bV- debated by i the tremendous increase in the number of wage earners the disappea- r ' 5- - Recurrent rance of the unemployment and depressions are a great hazard to the wage earner and the nation, and society has sought to provide some measure of security through social insurance. Experience shows the insurance principle can be auccersfully applied to payment for medical service; that voluntary insurance has limited scope and cannot solve the nations needs. advances have made good medical care too expensive for many. The answer is national compulsory health insurance. This will not revolutionize the practice of medicine, but will tend to preserve the status quo, and retard the trend to state medicine manifested today by the many hospitals and medical services set up by government. The Bill will make possible adequate medical care for 100 million people within the framework of present medical traditions, and can serve as a basis for a more perfected scheme of meeting one of the great needs of this nation. power. Scientific-technologic- DR. FISHBEIN al CHALLENGES: This is the first time that anyone has ever had the effrontery to insinuate that medical practice is conducted primarily for the benefit of the tors. The people of the United States are the best insured people in the world for life insurance; already almost 25,000,000 are covered with voluntary sickness insurance. That technique is growing rapidly and shouldIs be given a thorough trial before it 1 scrapped in behalf of a trolled system. It is quibbling with words to insinuate that federal compulsory sickness insurance is not state medicine; those who hold the purse control the activities. state-con-- DR. BOAS CHALLENGES: It is comforting that Dr. Fishbein has discovered that the distribution of medical care is inadequate; that medical care should be available to all. Hisi advocacy of the various voluntary insurance plans shows his education has just begun. Voluntary plans cover about 10 of the population and with few exceptions provide very incomplete medical care. To say alteration in method of payment for medical care will cause deterioration of medical practice intimates doctors work for profit only. The medical profesit sion has not assumed leadership has been pushed into unwilling experimentation with voluntary health insurance, and is still trying to defeat a thorough reoripntntion of medi- -. DR. BOAS REPLIES: It must be cal practice to the needs of today! our aim to provide adequate medical CR. FISHBEIN REPLIES: Actually service to all. Repeated surveys dur- most of the more recent surveys inshown ing the past ten years have fully half of our population, unaided, cannot afford to buy such service, and that actually they do not receive it. Voluntary health insurance cannot supply this need, for complete medical coverage is too expensive for most wage earners. The plans Dr. Fishbein discusses are very incomplete and Inadequate. The only alternative to compulsory health insurance with contributory payments by employee and employer la a rapid medical extension of services, which leads directly te state medicine. that i - dicate that at least 30 of America's workers are now covered by hospitalization insurance, and more than 20 million others by voluntary surgical and other sickness plans. Who can say bureaucratic governmental care would be better than that provided by voluntary sickness insurance? Has bureaucracy ever demonstrated the efficiency that is inherently associ-- j ated with private initiative? Dr. Boas') proposals merely mean more politi-- j cal jobs land more political controls. The constant fear of loss of benefits, already paid for, I repeat, would com- pel obedience and servility to the ilijreaijcraqr in power.
