Just what direction will be taken in the matter of public health assistance has not been determined, except that some sort of National Health program must be adopted, whether it be a National Health Insurance program or a vast public taxing plan.

If effective medical services are to become a reality, people of small moans must be able to obtain these services without facing the costs at the time services are needed. Two methods are open for obtaining such services: through the use of taxation, or through some form of health insurance. Public Tax or Health Insurance Taxation as a method Is unfair and well nigh impossible o nil e TJ u rden it woul d en- tail. In the first place it would be applied to those not using Its benefits, for the medically needy persons and not the taxpayers would receive the services. The health insurance method could be applied In several wr ts, by direct government grants, or by cooperative health units. Particular kinds of health services could be made available to the public by grants, some only to the needy, some to the medical needy, and some to wholly persons or to the entire community. The other method, by health insurance plans of one kind or another, is already being Instituted. Its essential element Is that of budgeting the family Income so that each family carries a budgeted amount regularly rather than a variable and uncertain risk. This has the added advantage of providing freedom of all practitioners to participate in the plan, with the intimate matter of choice remaining with the patient as to his doctor, and the widest latitude left to the doctor aa to his method of remuneration. Health insurance units are being organized on income levels. In some instances, or on vocational levels In others, and the movement indicates possibility of a on a comprehensive system national basis. The cost of health Insurance ; jj does not present any additional I ;j problem In as much as the over-I- ! all cost Is estimated to be what ij already Is being spent by lndivt-dual- s. The forward march of progress Indicates the need of budgeting this cost and placing U ft more or less on a cooperative Ij basis for all families. :rTake Tour Choice A choice between public medl-Ij j cal service and healh Insurance jl Involves many alternatives. Pub-j-j lie health service oan be applied jj to whole areas, and to entire populations. It can be used . j; j wherever government taxing power reaches. Health insurance Is more easily applicable to de-jfinite regions, or to ffeffnite econ-- S omit groups.
