England Learns

Medicine Failure
WASHINGTON <W —
Prime Minister Anthony
Eden’s Conservative govern

some interesting reports cm
what the British term their
National Health Service
(NHS).
NHB also Is known as sociattaed
medicine, a tax-paid healing sys
tem which had former President
' Truman’s sympathetic Interest a
one time but got nowhere in Con
gress. A British investigating com
mittee set up in IMS now reports
that the cost of National Health
Service in the United Kingdom
still is going up’
It cost *1.032,000.000 in the 1954
fiscal year, an increase of more
than *130 million since fiscal 1950.
Coats long since had doubled orig
inal estimates of the Socialist gov
ernment which set up the NHS
system shortly after World War II
The report estimated current
coats at 3.34 per cent of British
treasury revenue. On the same per
centage basis, socialized medicine
would cost the United States about
10,066.000.000 in the current fiscal
year — and go up from there if
British experience is a sound guide.
The committee reported that the
administrative structure of NHS
was sound and had a record of
real achievement. It rejected the
idea that some of the small fee
imposed after experience with so
cialized medicine should be in
creased. The committee sail some
