THURSDAY, JUNE 18, 193«. up-to-date hospitals and their own drug stores, bring good medical ser vice to people who without the co- operative method would not receive such service. In the more highly developed countries, such as Den mark and Sweden, the greater part of the medical practice is under the cooperative method. These people look neither to the political state nor to private com petitive medicine for their doctor ing but provide it for themselves, through their local cooperative health associations. Many coopera tive societies with stores, bakeries, banks, housing and other services add this medical care to their func tions. This is usually organized as a special department and members make an annual payment for the service. Purely .cooperative health socie ties are also organized. In the Uni ted States these latter organizations are multiplying. The Cooperative Hospital Association of Elk City, Oklahoma, is of this type. Its mem bers are largely the cotton farmers in the State Farmers Union. They built a hospital of their own in 1930 and doubled Its size in 1935. Most hospitals in the United States are already consumer owned and can easily be made cooperative. A present trend toward group or ganization follows these methods. An association composed of about 200 members is organized. Each member pays $20 a year. It employs a physician at an initial salary of $3,500. He is charged with the du ty of protecting the health of the members. He visits each family once or twice a month. He lives in their neighborhood, and is on inti mate terms of acquaintanceship with the members. Hei gives advice con cerning health problems, applies the preventive measures now known to science, treats the ordinary ills, and brings in the specialist when need ed. He has a preliminary arrange ment with specialists to care for his cases at special rates. Where there is no cooperative hospital, a con tract is entered into with a private hospital for the care of members re quiring hospital treatment at from $9 to $12 a year per person for a maximum period of three weeks. This is according to the method of the United Hospital Insurance Fund. Good hospitals are happy to make this arrangement. All this is possi ble with the small group. A mini mum of about 150 people or fami lies can employ a physician full time. Still smaller groups may en ter into a similar arrangement with a doctor, but will have to allow him to continue his private practice al so. until the group become large enough to employ him full time. The ideal organization should look toward the multiplication of such groups in a town or city, or around a township or county seat. When enough groups are in operation, they federate for larger action. The federation takes over an established hospital or clinic and maintains a central health organization. The extent of its activities depends upon the amount of money the mem bers raise for the protection of their heàlth. There is no limit to its possibilities. A group of 10,000 families each paying $40 a year can have their own hospital, clinic, spe cialists, and general medical service. Whether they provide for free hos pital care or for care at cost to be paid by the members when ft is used, for dental service, x-rays, and labor atory tests, depends upon the pre ference of the members and the amount of service they desire. Peo ple who have the social intelligence to unite in a cooperative society can use this same intelligence and ex perience to employ health service. The credit union lends Itself es pecially to cooperative health pro tection. No other cooperative group is better adapted to this service. The members are of much the same so cial and economic status. They are apt to be employed similarly, and to live in the same neighborhood. They have already had experience acting cooperatively together. The credit union itself provides insurance for the member who may be in need of credit to meet his annual dues. Ev ery credit union in the United States might well add this health service to its functions, no matter what Its size. A cost of $20 a year for a family of two and an additional charge of $2 for each additional member of the family, makes a cost of $24 for an average family. Where there is much difference in the income of families a graded scale of costs may range from $40 to $10 a year, divid ing the members into three or more income classes. An even greater range of cost may be adopted. One to two percent of the family income is a fair rata. The total costs of medical care in the United States amounts to over three billion dollars, an average of $30 per person or $120 per family. This is the money now spent for a very inadequate service. So imper fect and unsatisfactory is this com petitive medical business that the political control and administration of medicine will naturally follow un less the people have the vision and ability to provide medical service for themselves. The cooperative method offers the way. Wise peo ple are making use of it and find ing satisfaction in its application. Physicians of skill and intelligence are giving it their support. Both patients and doctors are advantaged, and medical service is brought clos er to the people. At least one socially minded phy sician should be a member of the organizing committee. Physicians should be consulted freely in form ing the organization. The doctors who are finally employed for the service should be high-class doctors, with good preliminary education, graduates of Class A medical colleg es, with hospital experience, and preferably a few years of practice. This method saves to society the family physician, who, like the fam ily, is being destroyed by the preva lent competitive system. NOTICE OF ANNUAL SCHOOL MEETING.
