(UPI Telephoto) Voluntary Health Insurance Programs Face Rocky Future Washington - IUPD - Can vol untary health insurance pro grams such as Blue Cross, meet rising public demands for broader coverage and greater benefits?

Send 35c uowl health insurance systems from a slow death. Two trends seriously threat en the future of voluntary programs, they asserted. They said these are spiralling medi cal costs, and a slowdown in improvement of benefits offer ed to purchasers of insurance plans. "After a decade and a half of continual pressure and tre mendous activity on all fronts, health insurance is still meet ing on the average less than one-fourth of " our private medical care bills," they said in the January issue of Public Health Report. "These are dis appointing statistics." One outstanding reason for this is that medical costs have increased at a far greater pace than the cost of living in recent years, according to the Somers. Between 1947-49 and '1959, medical care prices rose twice as much as the general cost of living, they said. "During the last year, 1958-59, when gen eral prices rose less than 1 per cent, medical prices con tinued their lively pace with an increase of more than 4 per cent." This, in turn is "the major factor ... in the extreme financial difficulties of many Blue Cross plans," the writers continued, and a primary cause for "increasing govern ment Intervention in the prob lem of the aged." Squeezed by Demands The voluntary health insur ance groups were reported also being squeezed by in creased demands for plans which cover the costs of dental care and drugs. "If substantial coverage of these two areas could be achieved in the next few years," the Somers said, "a significant breakthrough to ward meaningful compre hensive coverage could be achieved and a substantial victory chalked up for volun tary health insurance."
