It is genreally conceded that
a measure providing health
services for the over-65 age
group will be passed by Con-
gress this session. The question
is what form it will tak.e
The main attention has been
given to the medicare scheme
for attaching a health program
to social security. But, as many
an observer has pointed out,
this presents serious problems
and dangers. It could very well
undermine the solvency of the
social security system. The
costs would very probably be
much higher than the optimis-
tic estimates. At best, a sub-
stantial increase in the social
security tax would be requir-
ed. The benefits are far more
limited and far fewer than
most people realize. There is
no provision for restricting
the plan to those actually in
need. Finally, there is a well-
grounded fear that medicare
would open the door to a grad-
ual expansion of socialized
medicine and to the inevitable
decline in standards that would
result.
Now the American Medical
Association offers an alterna-
tive plan which is certainly
deserving of the most careful
consideration. The substance of
it lies in a broadening of the
provisions of the existing Kerr-
Mills Law which provides
liberal medical benefits to the
needy aged under a federal-
state system, with the admini-
strative authority placed with-
in the states where it belongs.
Under the AMA proposal',
over-65 citizens would buy one
or another of the voluntary
health insurance policies which
are available. Each would pay
only that part of the cost
which his income warrants,
with state and federal funds
making up the difference. If
his income was below a cer-
tain level, to be established by
law, he would pay nothing.
Eligibility provisions would be
administered by the state health
departments instead of the
welfare agencies.
Here is a plan that promises
to efficiently meet the need--
and at the same time avoid
the objections to medicare.
The AMA’s solution looks like
the right one.

Robert T. Stevens it was an-

CREDIT-SOVIET STYLE
Consumer credit in the So-
viet Union, in existence four
years, is predictably quite dif-
ferent from the U S. variety.
There are, for example, never
any repossessions of goods
purchased on time; and the
reason is simple: by law, the
state deducts credit payments
from the purchaser's pay. The
state also limits an individual's
total indebtedness to the equi-
valent of his salary for four
months.
Ray Wilson, owner of Wilson
Food Company, announced
this week that he had become
a member of the Associated
