Welfare Commission Adopts
New Program for Medicine
The state welfare commis
tlon adopted a new medical
program effective July 1, ac
cording to James Pullman,
Jackson county public welfare
administrator.
"The new plan is aimed at
providing minimum adequate
medical care to recipients of
public assistance within
closed end appropriation and
without prior authorization
by the welfare commission,'
Pullman explained. "This
plan also provides a more uni
form use of medical care."
Under the new plan, the
commission allocates each
county a certain sum of money
each month for hospitaliza
tion. If the bills exceed this
amount, the hospital or physi
cian receives a pro-rated
amount, Pullman said. This al
lows the physician to decide
what essential care is needed.
Expenditurei Controlled
Nursing home expenditures,
which account for over half
the money spent for medical
care, is controlled by the pub
lic welfare caseworkers by
regulating admissions and
making plans for other types
of care.
A small amount is allocated
for miscellaneous medical
care such as dental work,
medical transportation and
glasses. Through the new sys
tem, public welfare adminis
trators hope the local depart
ments can provide "somewhat
better service than in the past
two years," Pullman ex
plained. Aimed at supplying drugs
to welfare recipients at more
economical prices, the state
welfare commission also pub
lished a basic drug list effec
tive July 1, the public welfare
administrator said.
The list contains the "basic
drugs" which the commission
feels will meet the needs of
those on welfare rolls who
require medicines. Listed op
posite each "basic drug" is
the price which the welfare
commission will pay pharma
cists.
Exception! Mad
Exceptions are made if
clearances are received from
the state office. A doctor or
dering a drug not on the list
may write out a prescription
with an emergency three-day
exception and this will be
paid even though not on the
list.
Both in Jackson county and
statewide there have been
cases where the welfare com
mission has been charged for
drugs which the patient never
received or has been charged
higher prices than what pri
vate customers paid, Pullman
said.
Asked how this system has
worked for the month it has
been in operation, Gordon
Hudson, operator of two Med
ford drug stores, remarked,
It s an impossible situation
Brandi Noted
"The drugs listed by th
welfare commission are drugs
which no practicing pharma
cist would use or physician
prescribe," the local pharma
cist said. "These so-called ba
sic drugs consist of cheap
brands which I don t trust. I
wouldn't give 'em to a dog
Ani the prices published are
ridiculous"
Hudson said he understood
that druggists were consulted
on the list. However, he
thought it more likely that
the welfare commission went
through its files and picked
out the drugs most commonly
used by welfare patients.
"I'll practice pharmacy in
my own way and won t be
told by the state what to
charge for this and that,

Illegal Snagging
Reported in Area
State police have reported
a number of fish snaggings
recently, and game law en
forcement officers are putting
on a drive to stop this illegal
practice.
One 16-year-old youth, who
had been caught a number of
times in the illegal fishing
operation recently was re
manded from juvenile court
to district court. Imposition of
county jail sentence was aus
pended for one year provid
ing he surrender his angler's
license, refrain from fishing
in any waters in this state for
one year, forfeit his fishing
tackle and pole, and distribute
the four-salmon he caught to
the Jackson county juvenile
detention home and county
jail.
State Policeman R a f e L.
Anders signed the complaint
which charged him with at
tempting to jerk and foul
hook salmon with a line hav
ing a triple hook and weight
attached.
feel I charge reasonable
prices. And we certainly don't
make the big profit which the
welfare commission claims we
do!"
"The plumber, grocer and
Copco don't give lower rates
to the welfare recipients.
don't see why we druggists
should. It amounts to double
taxation since we pay taxes
which pay for. these medicines
for welfare recipients then we
have to cut our prices, too
Hudson explained.
He said the only solution is
for the doctors and pharma
cists to meet with the welfare
officials and reach a compro
mise. "However, you are go.
ing to have to get someone in
the welfare department who
will listen to us. We aren't
going to be forced into accept
ing a plan," Hudson added.
