Benefits Rise
In Insurance,
Reports Show
The American public received
an average of more than $8.5
million a day in (health insurance
benefits from insurance compa
nies during the first nine months
of 1960, the Health Insurance In
stitute reported today.
This was an increase of better
than $500,000 a 'day over the av
erage daily benefit payments
made toy insurance companies in
1959, said the Institute.
Health insurance benefits by
insurance companies totaled $2,
342,437,000 for the first three
quarters of 1960, a boost of eight
per cent over the $2,168,476,000
paid out in the same period of
1959, said the H31.
In all of 1959, a grand total of
$5.2 billion in benefits were paid
by insurance companies, Blue
Cross-Blue Shield, and other heal
th care plans. More than $2.8
billion of these benefits came
from insurance companies,
including $838 million to persons
covered toy policies which replace
income lost through disability.
At the end of last year, nearly
128 million Americans had some
form of health insurance protec
tion including more than 75 mil
lion persons covered toy insurance
companies, said the Institute.
So far in I960, benefit pay
ments (by insurance companies
are running ahead of last year
for all five types of health in
surance — hospital expense, sur
gical expense, regular medical ex
pense, major medical expense,
and loss of income.
In the first nine months of
1960, the greatest percentage in
crease in benefits came in major
medical expense insurance, ac
cording to the Institute.
Major medical, which provides
benefits ranging from $5,000 to
$15,000 to help -offset the cost of
serious illness, accounted for $309
million in benefits in the first
three-quarters of the year. This
It's Important
To Store Foods
Have you made an inventory of
the food you canned this sum
mer? You may be amazed at the
dollars you have saved during
the summer months by conserv
ing your food.
Miss Iola Pritchard, food con
servation specialist for the N. C.
Agricultural Extension Service,
says that in order for these con
served foods to retain maximum
keeping qualities, storage ol
utmost importance. “Remember
to keep your canned foods cool,
dry, and dark,” says M&ss Prit
chard.
Miss Pritchard says extreme
heat is bad on canned foods -be
cause if some bacteria happens
to be in the jars, warmth Will
cause them to grow and multiply,
thus spoiling the food. Food
should not be stored near a
stove, furnace, radiators, or pip
es.
“At the other extreme, jars in
untreated places may freeze in
cold weather,’’ says Miss Prit
chard. “Freezing itself does not
cause spoilage in canned foods
but the jar may crack or the seal
on the jar may 'be broken which
will result in spoilage. Jars may
be stored in cardboard boxes
which serve as a good insulator.”
Remem/ber to keep your jars
stored in a dry place and out of
direct light, since light does ef
fect the color of food canned in
glass. Now is a good time for all
families to check their storage fa
cilities.
