Insurance Committee
Progress Report
Your Insurance Committee recently
held a meeting and considered the ques
tion of not only medical and hospital
coverage, but also group life insurance.
The entire subject was thoroughly cov
ered and at the meeting were represent
atives from hospital associations and life
insurance companies.
The Committee decided that before
recommendations could be made to the
General Council an expression of opin
ion should be obtained from the mem
bers. Accordingly, a test check was
made through a questionnaire to mem
bers of our Association and from the
answers it appears that 80% of our
members are definitely interested in
medical and hospital coverage for them
selves and more than 70% for their
families. Sixty-seven percent of those
answering the questionnaire indicated
an interest in group life insurance.
In view of the present progress of
the Committee’s work to date, we be
lieve we shall be able to submit to our
members an insurance program favor
able as to coverage and at a cost that
all can afford to pay.
