EXPENSIVE MEDICINE
By GEORGE PECK
As a concerted effort is being
made to foist so-called 'Free Medi
cine'upon this nation, it might be
well to explore in this and subse
quent articles, what has happened
in other countries that have adop
ted medical care plans similar to
that proposed for America. Such
a study should reveal whether or
not our national health will be
improved if we do follow suit.
The term 'Free Medicine' Is not
used by the proponents of this pro
posal. They call it 'Compulsory
Health Insurance.' What you call
it really doesn't altar the fact that
under the skin it is socialized, nat
ionalized,state or political medicine
The scheme of putting a state
into the medical business was ori
ginated by Adolph Wagner, a Ger
man political scientist and economic
adviser to Chancellor Bismark late
in the nineteenth century. He
saw the political usefulness of social
insurance.and sold the idea to Bis
, marck who established in Germany
the world's first system of compul
sory insurance. (It may be pure
coincidence that a gentleman of
the same name. German-born Sen
ator Wagner of New York, has been
one of the chief sponsors of the
various bills- that have been pro
posed for compulsory health insur
ance in the United States-or it may.
not be.)
Bismarck was not particularly
interested in whether or not the
people received medical care. His
underlying thought was to get
money into the treasury; the bene
fits to be received by the people
would come later. To him, poli
tical control of the medical care
system meant putting considerable
money into the hands of the govern
ment and a more firm control
over the lives of the people. Bism
arck was such an extremely shrewd
politician that he is still being im
itated by small politicians the
world over, and; unfortunately, by

Germany has had a form of social
ized medicine for more than 60
years. Before World War II, the of
ficial regulations had progressed to
the point of rigid standard prescri
ptions and fixed dosages for several
comon ailments. Physicians who
ventured beyond the official text
did so at their personal and profess
ional peril.
Dr. Edward H. Ochsner, former
President of the Illinois State Med
ical Association, testified before
the Senate Labor Committee on
May 29, 1946. In response to a
question 'as to whether or not so
cialized medicine had improved the
health of the German -people, he
stated ihat in 1885, shortly after
the plan was launched, the average
number of days lost because of
sickness was 14.1 a year for each
insured person. By 1890, this ave
rage had increased to 16.2; In 1913,
20.6; and in 1932; the last year for
which statistics are available, it was
29.3. He stated that under the Am
erican system the average loss of
days was 6.2 per year for employed
workers.
He further stated that while the
German doctors were so busy they
had no time for discussing personal
hygiene or preventive medicine
with their patietns. Much of their
time, however, was taken up with
trivial problem. He related the ex
perience of one government phy
sician in Berlin who made 23 house
cai:s in five hours, with 30 minutek
out for lunch. Each call that day
averaging 12 minutes, including
travelling time from house to house.
A check of the hospitals disclosed
that betwjen 60 and 70 of all
cases were hospitalized unnec
cessarily. His investigation showed
that German physicians were see
ing as many as 60 to 80 patients
in a two-hour consultation period,
and the average time for diagnosis
was considered to be 3 to 4 min
utes. During postgraduate work stu
dies in Hamburg, Dr. Ochsner was
associated with about 50 physicians

EVOTIONAL READING:
Mark
Range oi Religion
Lesson for April 10, 1949 '
ONCE THERE WAS a farmer
who owned a large farm. Its
wMe acreage was divided into pas
ture and fields and a garden and
orchards and bog
lots and chicken
yards and so on.
But whenever any
one would ask the
farmer about some
particular part of
the farm, he would
answer, "That's
not my business
that's only the or
chard, it isn't the
farm;" or "That's .
not the farm, that's a flock of
sheep," or a, rye field or whatever
it might be. Of course such a farmer
never lived, or if he did, be should
have hit head examined.
What Does Religion Cover?
YET THAT FARMER is-not a bit
more i idiotic than a Christian
who, when asked about this or that
activity or aspect of life, answers.
"That's not religion. I have no in
terest in it." Religion isn't a little
fenced-off pasture for lambs, a tiny
garden plot behind thick hedges.
ReOfion cavers the whole
farm, every bit of life from end
to end. Jesus knew thla very
well. Be never once refused to
discuss anything on the gTonnd
that It was not religions.
He cast light on everything that
touched him. He called his followers
the "light of the world." Not flash
lights, shining in one narrow beam!
Not flashlights, but lamps, set on a
lampstand and "giving light to aU
who are in the house."
The Light Of God
A GOOD cross-section of Jesus'
methods and icfeas can be seen
lit Mark 10, into which one chapter
Mark packs bis whole account of a
number of weeks which Jesus spent
in the region called Perea. Observe
the variety of situations which con
fronted Jesus. First there was a
question about divorce. When they
brought that question up to Jesus,
he did not dodge it. He did not Call
It a personal matter In which he,
aa a teacher of religion, had no in
terest He did not say it waa strict
ly a matter for the civil courts. You
may read what ho did say In Mark
10. You win note that first of all he
brings Ood into his answer.
Religion And Little Children
mHIS CHAPTER Includes the fa
A mom story of the little children
who were brought to Jesus evident
ly quite small children, for Jesus
lifted them into his arms. We do not
hear Jesus saying. "Children are
too small for me to take any Interest
In them. Wait till they are older.
What good can religion do these
tiny tots?" On the contrary, Jesus
not only blessed' them, .but held
them up as models .for older people.
Is jronx church following Jeans
here? Is your charch Interested
In the little children as much aa
It Is in the "paying" membersT
Or are the little ones, shoved off
Into some damp corner of the
church basement? In your state or
province, do the Christian people
take an interest In the children?
Do children in your section get as
good attention as pure-bred cattle
do?
As Wide Aa Life
rEN THERE WAS a question
about eternal life. Of course
Jesus answered that one, it was
obviously a religious question. (Ex
cept that he gave it what some
people even today would consider
a not very religious answer!) Jesus
went on to talk about money and
the effect it has on a man's prospect
of eternal life. Jesus would be the
very last, person: to imagine that
a man's bank account has nothing
to do with religion. Some people to
this day don't like to hear a preach
ar mention money In his sermons.
Well, -such people might have been
offended by Jesus, for he often
preached about money and prop
erty. ,
, Then there waa the question
ambition, the aadaolona re
sanest that James and John made
ef him. He had some strong re
) marks to make aboat that.
'-And finally av Jericho, ' not long
before Palm Sunday; there was the
blind beggar Bartimaeus. Jesus
did nof say to him, "Health la no
affair of, mine.- I cure souls, not
bodies.". . -a : . , . .
