In every THREE ,
FAMILIES you and I know, ONE fam-
ily will have someone in the hospital this year!
One in three.
.It could be yours, couldn't it? Or mine. And
very often — surgery.
Let’s face this, too:-Somebody has to pay the
bill It’s a bill that sure can hit a family hard.
Hospitals are certainly not money-makers.
But you can't take short-cuts in a hospital Lives
are st stake. This very year, it might be YOUR
life; or mine. And hospital costs have DOUBLED
since 1945. -.
Now — who will pay YOUR bill?
Congratulations to 811,189 smart Texans, en-
rolled in BLUE CROSS For BLUE CROSS will
pay YOUR hospital lull'*
It paid the bill for 118,491 Texans last year.
A total of 609,526 hospital days. The total bill
was $9,395,210.87!
Congratulations to 694.583 smart Texans, en-
rolled in BLUE SHIELD. For BLUE SHIELD
will pay your doctor.* It paid 89.250 cases last
year. The bill was $4,378,548.08! ′
And in cases of “dread disease" (including -
polio), the bill for 433-cases was $160,590.75!
TOTAL — $13,934,349.70!
HOW BLUE CROSS WORKS
So simple and easy. The doctor orders some-
one of your family to the hospital. Almost any
general hospital — in Texas and in the U. S.
have agreed to take care of you, under the
BLUE CROSS plan. No cash, no deposit no
credit references, no red tape. Just show that
BLUE CROSS membership you carry, and
you're in! BLUE CROSS pays the hospital,-
direct.” BLUE SHIELD pays the doctor.* •
YOURS FOR A LIFETIME
You WON'T be dropped from BLUE CROSS,
just because your family had to use it over
and over again. Or because you reach 65. Or
because you leave a BLUE CROSS group,
or move away. Keep up your BLUE CROSS
membership, and your BLUE CROSS protec-
tion goes on, and on and on.
WHO GETS THE PROFITS?
You do—every penny paid in, except for
small administrative costs, is set aside to pro-
vide hospital care. There are no stockholders,
no owners, no dividends, no cash profits.
BLUE CROSS is not for profit—it's all for

Shall we keep BLUE
CROSS selfishly to our*

I think I know the answer to that, when it’s
Texans you're talking to. Texans are about the
most generous people on earth.
Texans are going to let that light shine forth
—if I know Texans.

And that's only the beginning. Since
the forerunner of BLUE CROSS

movement has grown like wild-
fire. Over the U. S_ 46 MILLION

Most people join by groups — ask your em-
ployer — but you can join by yourself. Call

pay that neighbor's bill — that warm feeling you
have deep down inside will be a wonderful
reward. 1
