V. Watkins, president of the Sharon stake, and chief executive in the movement of Sharon people during the past seven 'years to obtain medical care for 'all the people of that area. ' Immediate, prospects for suejyi desirable consummation of years of study and effort are encouraged by an announcement made Saturday by the Utah Medical Associations medical service bureau. Secretary William Howard Tibbals, stated tentative plans had been adopted by the Medical Service bureau for socialized medicine, without including the politician and would be presented to interested groups and members of their families following the first of the year 1939. This announcement follows a recent conference with the Sharon group, when Mr. Tibbals stated a definite plan would be announced Dec. 10 by the bureau. The people .of Sharon awaited this announcement with keen interest. While much negotiation and discussion must the ground yet follow, states President Watkins,-ye- t been a has and fine spirit of cooperation is work laid, being shown by the doctors. An early meeting is being arranged for detailed analysis and thorough discussion of the proposed plan. Ideas and objectives held by the Health Insurance groups as represented by the Sharon Cooperative Health Insurance group, and also the purposes of the Medical Associations service bureau as outlined by Mr. Tibbals, are here set down side by side, that readers of this p.npcr may compare the two and estimate for themselves how far apart the two groups are, and whaLad justments must Tie made to bring them together. looms for Health Health Insurance Advocates Advocates of health insurance, according to President Watkins, seek medical aid for especially for the poor, who are unable to pay medical fees anu thus pbtain adequate attention. They seek also to obtain this medical aid before catastrophic conditions arise which demanu major operations, the post ot which is prohibitive to so many people. In other words they sec. some plan whereby they can pay the doctors to keep people well rather than to repair them aftoi they are sick. They seek medical contrac with the doctors, whereby re:1 enable yearly fees can be paid all, thus guaranteeing j to the member and his family adequate medical attention on a sickness prevention basis, and likewise hospitalization on a cost ba.d within the reach of the majority of the people. Health , insurance require group organization, not alone for tiie benefit of the people, but lso for the doctors, so that the peo, le may obtain a choice of doctors, and the doctors may be protect who from the "chronic patient is always seeking a doctor's attention but disregarding his adALL-citizens- , vice. The Health Insurance groups are as interested in the indigent and unemployed groups as In the o citizen. They Insist on some plan whereby state aid. or iTutreh Welfare funds, or other sources of funds may be secured to pay "contract dues for such families. They maintain that sick- ness and its attendant evils can Nest be cared lor at the beginning, rnd the state and other agencies save much money by earing for well-to-d- these families at the outlet. While the Health insurance groups have not set any definite yearly fee, although many have sought the 123 a year per family sum. thty do maintain that any seal" of fees to be agreed upon trust be within reaeh of the average fam'ly, and that payments of such fees be made at or before a d. finite date ea. b year, into a fund controlled by the Health Insurance group, and paid over to the according to the terms agreed upon. The farm bureau, the farm administration. and some labor units have agitated for a Health plan along flm.'lar li although none of tlic-- e have included such a wid s ' i. circle of membership of all classes as proposed by the Sharon Coope- rative. The Doctors' Service Fran Mr. Tibbals has given to the press the following outline of the Medical service bureau plan. In this he has been in collaboration with Dr. A. Cyril Calnster, medical bureau president, and Dr. Ilay T. Woolsey, medical economics committee head. Dr. Claude L. Schields, president of the state association, was also a visitor here with Mr. Tibbals when the matter was discussed recently. "two plans are specified. One is a hospitalization plan, guaranteeing to each individual member of any group of 10 or more persons participating, a maximum of 21 days hospitalization yearly. The other provides for a percentto age of cash reimbursement who become ill from members certain diseases, or are involved In nonindustrtal accidents. The latter plan does not Include constant medical treatment, or examination for ordinary diseases or ailments in which hospitalization is not necessary. Nor is the share of the doctors bill determined in what Is called catastrophic medical emergencies." Only group purchase of service is allowed, and each group must make unanimous selection of the hospitalization plan alone, or It and the reimbursement 'plan together, with the latter plan not available alone. Fees are set as follows: a. $21.60 yearly for one person: b. $36 for husband and wife; c. $48 for husband, wife, and dependent members of the family between six months and 19 years. If hospitalization services only are desired fees would be $10.80, $18. and $24 respectively. Hospitalization would include benefits of a semiprivate or ward room, u of operating room, anesthetics, routine laboratory can and drugs for which the hospital makes no special cnarges. Contagious diseases or illnesses contracted by the Individual, such as cancer or tuberculosis, would not come under the plan. Reimbursement, under the other plan, would entitle the member to part payment (not determined yet as to amount or percentage! for one major and one minor or injury yearly. To he listed in the payment schedule at first will be orly those conditions in which, liability can he quite accurately determined in advance.
