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.
