Forty-nine per cent of all A
mericans 65 years of age or older
had health insurance protection
against-the costs of ill health at
the beginning of 1960, the Health
Insurance Association of Ameri
ca repanted this week.
Of the 15.7 million persons in
this age group, an estimated 7.7
million had health In
surance, (the 'Association said in
issuing !the first analysis made
pn a nationwide basis since early
(1958 of the extent of health in
! suranee coverage among "senior
citizens."
j The report: was based on cov
' erage trends revealed in govern
I ment and private surveys taken
during the last decade and on
| developments 1n (the health in
surance surveys taken during the
j last decade and on developments
| in the health insurance business,
i Because of accelerated activity
by insuring organizations in this
area, the growth of health insur
ance protection among persons
65 and older during the past
eight years has been at a more
i rapid pace than for the popula
I tion as a whole, said the Associa
tion, which is composed of 270
insurance companies.
1 In early 1952, one out of every
four senior citizens had health
j insurance, and now one out of
I two are so protected, said the
I HIAA. Over the same period, the
growth in coverage for the totai
population was from nearly six
out of every ten persons to a lit
, tie more than seven out of ten.
I In addition to the 49 per cent
j of the 65-and-over who now have
! health insurance, the Association
said, another 15 percent or 2.4
million persons, are officially
classified as indigent, and pro
vision is made for their medical
needs through Old Age Assist
ance, supported by Federal-State
matching fund programs. Such
persons also receive money for

needs.
According to the U. S. Depart
ment of Health, Education and
Welfare, 26 per cent of senior
citizens had health insurance in
March 1952, and by September
1956 this figure had grown to 37
per cent. 1
The most recent survey in this
field was made in Spring 1958 by
the National Opinion Research
Center of the University of Chi
cago, which found that 43 per
cent of senior citizens had health
insurance. The rate of growth
from 1952 to 1958 averaged out to
a little less than three per cent
a year, said the Association.
The introduction of new insur
ing techniques has marked the
increased activity in the 65-and
over field by insuring -organiza
tions, said the Association. One
technique has been the mass en
rollment approach of issuing
health insurance to large groups
of aged persons in a state.
One company insured more
than 250,000 persons by this ap
proach alone in a 12 month per
iod ending in June 1959.
Numerous other methods of in
suring aged persons are employ
ed, said the Association. Many
of the estimated 51 million per
sons now covered by group in
surance policies issued by in
surance companies will be able
to continue their insurance after
retirement, generally with part
or all of the premium paid by
the employer. Other workers will
be able to convert their group
insurance to individual policies.
