BROADER SECURITY PROGRAM PRESSED IN REPORT
(Continued From Page 1) w
turning down a job. The report recommends that when a
worker is disqualified this penalty be not more than a four
weeks’ postponement of benefits.
The report outlines two new methods for Federal-State
financing of unemployment insurance, making possibly
smaller employer contributions. It concludes, however, that
a simpler, cheaper, and safer way to cope with the national
problem bf wage loss from unemployment would be through
a natipnal social insurance program.
Social insurance benefits, the report states, are available
to only a small number of the daily average of two million
or more individuals, who but for their sickness, would be
working or out looking for work. California arid Rhode Is
land are the only two States that provide cash sickness
benefits to the employe out of work because of illness. Con
sequently, the report recommends insurance to cover all
workers during times of both temporary and permanent to
tal disability.
Equally as serious as the wage loss resulting from sick
ness is the problem of paying for adequate medical care,
free care on a means-test basis, the report states, is not
the solution. Most people would prefer to pay their doctors'
bills on a prepayment basis rather than seek free care after
they have been reduced to dependency.
As an important buttress to an over-all social insurance
system, the report favors an expanded program of public
assistance that would provide cash payments and services
to any needy person in the United States irrespective of the
reason for need or the place of residence. This would make
Federal funds available to the States for general assistance
as well as for the three current programs: old-age assist
ance, aid to the blind, and aid to dependent children.
The report points out that such an over-all social insur
ance system, supplemented by a public assistance program,
is needed to provide against all common hazards to a work
er’s livelihood.
