At Local Luncheon

Ism, Thursday at the noon
luncheon of Medford Kiwan
s club.
The District 15A lieutenant
governor of Kiwanis repeated
talk given before the ser
vice club here in April on
"Freedom, Our Individual Re
sponsibility." This time he
addressed a valley television
audience as well as club mem
bers. The luncheon was held
In the studios of KMED-TV.
. Kiwanians, with President
Billy Blackstone presiding,
conducted the meeting on tel.
evlsion as they do their week
ly luncheons at Rogue Valley
Country club.
' Favell's talk was based
around the Kiwanis Interna
tional theme for 1962.
Is 'As You WW
He said that whether the
"elusive eagle of liberty" is
cherished and nourished or let
to die is "as you will."
"Our destiny is in our
hands," Favell pointed out,
declaring that he saw "a
brooding omnipresence" in
the sky and warning of the
danger if individual responsi
bility is replaced by dull pa
civity. The issue is no different
than in centuries past, accord
ing to Favell. Death is death
arid slavery is slavery still, he
(aid.
, Indifference, lethargy and
cowardice can destroy a soci
ety, the Kiwanis official
brought out. He declared that
socialism is only "housebrok
en" communism and said that
to deny economic liberty is to
destroy freedom.
. Long before a government
gives people all they want it
takes everything they have,
Favell asserted.
. The answer to socialism and
communism, Favell stated,
must lie in the superior per
formance of individualism
and freedom. He stressed that
freedom cannot be inherited
but must be fought for.

King-Anderson Bill Latest Effort To Ad just To Changes
Editor's Note: Tha Kennedy
administration is making
strenuous efforts to obtain
passage by Congress of the
King-And--son bill for financ
ing hospital and nursing horn
care of the aged through so
cial security. The bill at pres
ent is locked in the House
Ways and Means committee.
ANNOUNCE STRIKE
Los Angeles, (UPD - The
United Aerospace Workers
(UAW) and International As
sociation of Mechanics (IAM)
Saturday announced a strike
against major aerospace com
panies across the country
would be called July 23 unless
jiew labor contracts are sign
ed by that time.
Washington Controver
sy over the administration bill
lo finance certain medical ser
vices to the aged through the
social security system marks
the latest phase in the coun
try's effort to adjust to strik
ing changes in the practice of
medicine. Medical practice in
the United Slates today is
characterized by protective
and curative procedures vast
ly more effective than those
used at any time in the past.
Public demand for enjoyment
of the benefits of this new or
der is naturally unprecedent
ed. Because there has also
been a sweeping rise in the
cost of medical ca.e, a lively
search for the best ways to fi
nance such care has been go
ing on.
Per capita expenditures for
medical service have more
than doubled in the past doz
en years. Private expendi
tures on doctor and hospital
bills and on health insurance
premiums totaled almost $20
billion in the fiscal year 1960.
The sum spent for insurance
premiums increased five times
over between 1950 and 1960,
reaching $5.8 billion in the
latter year. Without health
insurance, which amounts in
effect to prepayment of medi
cal expenditures, the great
majortiy of Americans would
be hard put to meet the heavy
costs likely to be incurred
when they fall ill.
Partial Insurance
At the latest ennnt 19ft mil
lion people - three fourths of
me total population - had at
least Dartial insurant pnvr.
age for hospital expenses.
Around 124 million were cov
ered also for surgical expens
es; 91 million for additional
medical services; 35 million
for a part of the costs of pro
longed illness; and 43 million
for loss of income durins an
illness.
Regular insurance comnan.
ies, the non-profit Blue Cross
and Blue Shield plans, and
group health plans sponsored
by labor unions, consumer
groups, and groups of doctors
furnish the bulk of this insur
ance. Its growth has been
stimulated not only by public
demand but also by the con
tinuing threat that if such in
surance was not made avail
able on a voluntary basis, a
compulsory government
scheme of health Insurance for
everyone would be developed.
Such a plan, to be financed
through social security, was
proposed during the Truman
administration. Now it has
been narrowed down by the
Kennedy administration to a
plan for coverage of hospital
and nursing hoi e expenses of
retired persons 'eceiving old
age social security benefits.
Administration support of
the King-Anderson bill, which
embodies this pla" has en
couraged insurance companies
to push new health policies
for persons aged 65 and over.
Earlier this year, moreover.

versity of California, and is a

the Blue Cross and Blue
Shield organizations announc
ed plans - still to be activated
- for national coverage of the
aged at low rate S10-S12 and
$3 a month, respectively, for
hospital and surgical-medical
benefits.
Whether these plans can fill
the bill adequately is not yet
clear. Despite the wide cover
age and the great investment
in health insurance for the
population in general, there
has been dissatisfaction over
its failure to meet the full
costs of medical services. If
those costs continue to rise as
fast as they have been doing
in recent years, further gov
ernment assistance in solving
the health care financing
problem may be demanded.
Advances and changes In
medical practice have been
partly responsible for the ris
ing costs. The changes have
not been all to the public's
liking. Virtual disappearance
of the family doctor; the com
mon practice today of having
the patient go to the doctor
instead of the doctor to the
patient; the shortening of time
spent with the doctor himself
and the lengthening of time
spent with technicians; the
frequent need to consult a
specialist; and the occasional
need to enter a hospital for
long and expensive tests
things like this have given
rise to complaints that doc
tt 's have lost the human
touch or that 'hey are more
interested in the patient's dol
lars than his ail. lents.
Such complaints are under
standable but usually unjust.
Doctors prefer, except in cas
es of grave illness, to see pa
tients in the office rather than
the home because ". is In their
offices that they have the
equipment and the assistance
to make tests now deemed ne
cessary for diagnosis and
treatment. And in "nany cases
it is only the hospitals that
have the equipment needed
for unusually exhaustive
tests. As for specialists, it is
the great growth of medical
knowledge that has made for
increasing specialization in
the profession.
Changes of this kind and of
other kinds may have made
medical care far more expen
sive than it used to be, but it
is the same changes - along
with the discovery of wonder
drugs - that have made medi
cal care far more effective.
Now the great concern is to
make certain that everyone
can have the benefits of mo
dern medicine when the need
arises.
