Health. Insurance Growth Remarkable In Nation

By JACK V. FOX United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK (UP) — Do you have some sort of health insurance? Are you reasonably satisfied with it? Do you know what it costs and what it covers? If you had a really rough medical bill, would you be protected? Would you be willing to pay higher premiums if you could get more medical coverage? Would you invest in a policy paying most bills up to $10,000? Do you think doctor visits to the home should be insurable? What about regulai physical checkups? Do you set aside part of your income for medical expenses? Are the older people in you family insured against sickness? Do you think payments for, say an appendectomy or childbirth, under present plans are adequate? Those are some of the questions that are causing a great deal of controversy today in the insurance business, the medical profession, the government and among the public. 118 Million Covered there are about 118 million of us today with some sort of medical insurance—about three out of every four AmericansThe growth of health insurance is one of the most spectacular

developments on the social scene since the war. In 1940, only 3 million Americans had such insurance. Today there are 1.2Q0 companies writing such policies and the competition is fierce. Payments to persons with insurance for hospital, doctor and other medical bills last year amounted to a whopping $3,600,000,000. But it must be remembered that the nation's total medical bill for the year was more than $lO billion. The biggest surge in health insurance recently has been in “catastrophic" or major medical coverage. It is a type that does not ‘pay by the stitch,” but awards a lump cash sum to the policyholder up to a big amount—usually not more than SIO,OOO. It is fairly expensive. There are now about 10 million persons with such insurance. Many of them have it in addition to "basic" coverage for less serious illness Blue Cross Pibneered The Blue Cross and Blue Shield organizations pioneered mass medical insurance in the United States, starting with a plan at Baylor Univeristy in Dallas in 1929. By last year, Blue Cross (hospitalization) and Blue Shield (surgery and doctor) had grown to some 51 million members for the former and 38 million for the latter. There are 85 separate Blue Cross corporations in the United States, Canada and Puerto Rico Blue Cross-Blue Shield represents about 41 per cent of all medical insurance written. Blue Cross contracts provide a set daily amount for hospital board and room over a fixed period, plus certaiq. other hospital expenses. Blue Shield has a schedule of surgical payments and some other doctors’ expenses performed in hospital. Both plans are now offering broadened versions to cover medical expenses. Coverage Varies Individual insurance companies in total recently have surpassed Blue Cross - Blue Shield in volume

M builneas. They now buur« Si.? per cent. Their policies are of great range, but in general they differ in that the policyholder usually receives a cash award within certain limitations rather than having a predetermined schedule of what is ■?he third major type insurer is typified by the Health Insurance Plan of New York whose main distinction is that it is formed by doctors themselves. The policyholder must accept the services of one of the member doctors Others of this type are Group Health Insurance of Washington, Kaiser Permanente and the RossLoos Clinic in California.. The government, of course, provides a type of health insurance through the Veterans Administration whose services are available to the 21 million veterans now living. There are also a few labor union insurance associations No Endorsements From AMA The American Medical Association has not endorsed any plan. It took an opinion sampling of 1.000 physicians on health insurance in 1954. The majority gave the opinion that insurance should cover “a substantial portion but less than the full cost” of medical and surgical care. The majority also said that most benefit schedules fell below the normal charges of physicians. There are about 180,000 practicing physicians in the United States. A 1955 survey by Medical Economics showed their average net income to be: generaj practicioners $14,814; specialists SIB,OOO. Most observers say the American system has its strength, also it weaknesses and inquities. But the insurance companies point out this is a very complicated field. Said one: “While a life insurance policy requires a death to start a claim, a hospital-medical policy requires only the policy and a few aches and pains.” —— ' T VUIU Muni.
