However, another prostitution control measure, this time to strengthen state laws in regard to sex acts for hire, ran into rough going and was held up for possible amendment. This more clearly defines prostitution and lewdness &.id also contains a section dealing with sexual promiscuity for which no money changes hands. It was this section which brought about the major debate and the moves for delayed action to consider amendments. Hottest debate of the afternoon was sparked by v .e sure which would bring Cross and Blue Shield hospital, medical and surgical benefit associations under state regulation and require them to pay a 24 I1-- cent premium tax. Proponents of the legislation contended that Blue Cross and Blue Shield could absorb the tax from its reserve funds and not have to pass along the increase to peiaons covered by the plans. WOULD COST MORE? However, opponents argued this was not the case and that subscribers would sutler in reduced benefits and increased costs. An attempt to amend the bill to eliminate the tax was defeated after lengthy argument and the bill advanced to third reading by a vote of total of eight senators, six of whom either sell insurance or are directors in Insurance companies, declared they had a pecuniary interest in the bill before voting.
