Hospital Insurance Use Is Increasing Use of hospital insurance is multiplying rapidly among patients at Utah Valley hospital, records of the hospital show. One insurance company for example paid for 4805 of the 25,435 patient days in 1948 while in 1947 it paid for 4272 of the 25,159 patient days. In addition to this firm a number of insurance companies com-panies have other forms of hospital insurance and many plants and corporations in the area have instituted forms of hospital insurance with the company paying part of the premium. One Reason This is one of the reasons, hospital authorities point out, why the present hospital is so crowded. When patients are relieved of the financial burden of hospital care, whether wheth-er wholly or in part, they are more apt to take the advice of their doctor and go to the hospital early in case of sickness. Another factor which has crowded local hospital facilities facili-ties is the increasing awareness of the value of hospital care. It used to be that the place to go as a last resort. Now more and more people are letting the hospital fill its rightful place as a guardian and protector of community health. , Population Rise The rise of population in the Provo area is, of course, the main reason for the crowding of the present hospital, but even without a population rise the hospital would have been taxed to take care of the many patients who today realize the value of a hospital in times of illness and injury. Other reasons cited by hospital authorities for the present increase in population include the fact that many operations and other conditions requiring hospitalization were postponed post-poned during the war years. ' Economic conditions today also make it more possible for many to afford the time and financial loss than could formerly accept hospitalization. JW 11 11 LiJ liMJ 1 II JOHN O. BEESLEY P. E.
