Urgent Need for National Health Insurance Revealed WHILE the National Health bill is not expected to be taken up at this session of the congress, its final adoption may have moved near er because of the amazing and em barrassing testimony which has been given before the senate com mittee on education and labor dur ing three weeks of hearings. This measure, known as the Wag ner-Murray-Dingell bill (S. 1806) is opposed by the American Medical association as "socialistic," and by others who declare that voluntary health programs will meet the needs of the nation. Nevertheless, its pro ponents declare otherwise and say that nothing short of passage of the measure will provide for the na tion's health needs. And in an enlightened democ racy such as ours where medi cal and surgical science have made such tremendous strides, where curative and preventive medicine have reached such heights of accomplishment, one can only use the word "dis graceful" after listening to the testimony describing the state of the health of the American people. Here are some of the facts in the testimony: The bill provides for a health in surance plan for all necessary med ical, surgical, hospital and clin ical needs, including dental and op tical treatment, child and maternal care, at a cost of approximately 3 per cent of income to be paid ap proximately one-half by individuals and the other half by employers and public funds. Services of physicians of their own choice would be avail able to all persons and doctors would have the right to come into or remain out of the insurance sys tem and to accept or reject patients as they now do. The bill provides for larger grants of federal money to the states for preventive services and it would expand the G.I. Bill of Rights to provide these services for the veteran and his family for non-service connected illness. Only 22% Now Covered Other testimony was . . . that only about 22 per cent of the people have voluntary insurance against hospit al costs, less than 4 per cent for physicians' service, that health in surance plans sponsored by medical societies are operative in less than half the states and only offer limit ed service at high cost . . . that more than 23,000,000 have some chronic disease or physical im pairment . . . that in any 24-houx period, 7,000,000 people are incapaci tated by illness or other disability . . . that about 500,000,000 man-days are lost annually due to illness and accidents . . . that 15,000,000 people in 40 per cent of the counties do not have any recognized genera] hospital . . . that there is no full time public health officer in 40 per cent of the counties . . . that one half of the deaths of women in child-birth and a third of the infant deaths could be prevented if known measures were fully applied. Since introduction of the Nation al Health Bill last fall, 13,500 babies and 1,300 mothers died whose lives might have been saved, and each day of delay on the bill we lose 85 more babies and 8 more moth ers needlessly. To do anything less than to give children, no matter where they live, a healthy start in life is wasteful of future man and woman power. Letting fathers and mothers struggle unsuccessfully to find what care they can for chil dren is not good enough. Under present conditions, the average family spends 4 per cent of its in come for medical care, but over 40 per cent of the total burden of med ical costs falls on 10 per cent of the population. People with low in comes have more sickness and need more medical care, yet they receive much less. Three Cent* a Day Over 40 per cent of young men and women were found unfit for military service, one-sixth had re medial defects and many more were preventable. Doctors and hos pitals are located according to wealth of population and not ac cording to health needs of the peo ple. Hedical practice in rural areas must be made more attractive. Complete health service including cost of dental care for a child would cost about $8 per year or less than 3 cents a day. We now have 1,540 pediatri cians and need 7,444, we need 34J44 more dentists ... we have 11,444 public-health nurses and need 34,444 more and need . at least 13,444 more graduate nurses ... we need 1,444 more orthopedists and 5,444 obstetri cians and 14,444 additional psy chiatrists for children. Cost to the nation in man days lost from illness and accidents last year amounts to eight billion dollars. We lag behind other countries In many health ret- * '| 'HIS (porting life may be check <1 ered, dizzy and dumb, but H la never wholly dull. One never can tell town what direction the harpoon will be thrown. , Hera ia a double example. A tew weeks ago the Loula-Conn party was tn K? tk. greatest thriller. At that time the Phil lies were the joke it the sporting I world. They had jeen tagged as the tternal occupants it baseball's dog louse. They were tupposed to be im jedded in the ce nent of the cellar. U1 this sounded easonable enoueh '? '? ? I Grantland &ic? I r as we looked over the chart. Then, with little warning, a cloud no larg er than a man's hand or thumb worked into a western twister, while the Louis-Conn fight broke all reo ords as a monumental flop?an all time record. About the same time, the lowly Phillies began their upsurge. With in two weeks they stole the glory of baseball. They became more talked about than the Red Sox or the Yankees, than the Dodgers or the Cardinals. They have made the Louis-Conn dull merry-go-round look like a taffy-pulling exhibition. The Phillies have emerged from the grottoes and the underground into the open. They finally see the light of the sun again. They can see the summer dawn and feel the rain. Challengers Now Through the combined efforts of owner Bob Carpenter, general man ager Herb Pennock and manager Ben Chapman, one of the most lib eral and one of the ablest combi nations in baseball, the Phillies no longer are baseball's doormat. They no longer belong to the tribe of "God's green footstools." At last they are a real baseball team. For several weeks now the Phil lies have been playing the best ball In the National league. This may be no higb tribute, but It is an amazing tribute to a team that has defended the cellar with record breaking stubbornness for a long time. It should go as a high tribute to Messrs. Carpenter, Pennock and Chapman, who have combined to turn out the best job in baseball for IMC. The* Phillloa nt 1QAA Vin?r? v. .WW uu?6 COU1CU us back to the Boston Braves of 1914. That happens to be some 31 years ago. Around this date the Braves were in last place. George Stallings, the fiery Braves manager from Georgia, was wearing out a suit a week, moving up and down the bench. There have been many hard-losing managers in baseball? most of them are?but Stallings holds the record. Then, around the first of July, the Braves began their move from the bottom. They had Rabbit Maranvffle at short and Johnny Evers at second. Great field?smart brain?big heart ?no hit. They had Hank Gowdy, the old Sarge, back of the bat. Bat, above all, they had three great pitchers?Dick Rndolph, George Ty ler and Bill James. Day after day, game' after game, we saw these three pitchers in the box icore? Rudolph, Tyler and James. This trio proved to us that three pitchefs, working every third or fourth day, are all a ball club needs. Working that often a pitcher gets control and confidence. I'm not referring to the sore-arm boys, to the once-a-week pitchers of the mod ern era, where it takes three or four pitchers to finish a ball game. Rudolph, Tyler and James start ed and finished their own games, working at least twice a week. They were not pampered as the modern pitchers are, barring such men as Feller, Newhouser and a few others. / r n .. ? r rum Bottom to Top v So the Braves moved from 8th to 7th place, then to 6th. They moved from 6th into the first divi sion, then headed for the top. They made the top?and they didn't need eight or ten pitchers to carry them along. They needed only three Rudolph, Tyler and James. The light - hitting overlooked Braves only murdered the Athlet ics in four straight games. They outplayed and outgamed and out pitched and outhit one of Connia Mack's greatest teams. Rank Gow dy hit over .500 in that aeries. But the main answer again was Ru dolph, Tyler and James, who fead been seasoned under fire for over three months, who had been worked often enough to know their trade. Any pitcher who can't start and finish over 20 games, who can't work in over 300 innings?or 350 inn ings?isn't much of a pitcher. What baseball needs today is a combina tion of Rudolph, Tyler and James, who can handle a three months' schedule practically unaided. Mod ern pitchers need far more work than they are getting. No set of arms can be that fragile, that futile, that weak. If Chapman only had another Ru dolph, Tyler and James be would breeze through this 1M6 pennant race. It wouldn't even be e contest.
