What happens in your house
when someone gets sick, bears a
baby, has a set of tonsils removed
or breaks a leg and you think
about the medical costs involved?
Do you say, “Don’t worry, we re
insured!”- and go more or less
cheerfully oil to the hospital? If
so, you are one of the 87 million
people—57& of. the LLS. popula-
tion—who are enrolled today in
hospital insurance plana. If you
aren't worried about the doctor's
bill either, chance; are you’re
ajso one of 74 million people who
now carry insurance against sur-
gical or medical costs.
The idea that medical emer-
gency need ndt mean financial
disaster is comparatively new.
Voluntary health insurance plana
began to interest the nation in
the early thirties, expanded stead-
ily up to J939 when five and a
half million of us were included.
In the next fifteen years mem
bershjp zpomed dizzily, doubling
and re-doubling as the idea of
voluntary health insurance caught
on all over the U.S.
Need for Accurate Figures
Meanwhile, however, the na-
tion’s economic picture changed
and information about how much
we actually spend for medical
care was hard to find. The last
accurate figures were based on a
survey dating back to 1932. A
few months ago a nationwide
survey conducted by the Univer-
sity of Chicago’s National Opinion
Research Center brought to light
the first reliable, nationwide sta-
tistics on the current cost of med-
ical car# in the U-S. Chief among
their findings was this -impress-
ive total: 89,500,000 persons now
carry some kind of health insur-
ance—nearly 60% of the total
U.S. population!
There is no doubt about it, the
preservation of our good health
has become one of our chief na-
tional interests. Today most of us
v. Todayi

are willing to risk a fire without
a fireman.
Survey of Health Costs
Sponsor of the recent survey
of the present-day status of med-
tion Foundation, a public aervice
organization backed by 165 drug
pharmaceutical, chemical and al-
lied companies, working under a
Citizens Advisory Committee
whose Chairman is former Presi-
dent Herbert Hoover. The Foun-
dation, in consultation with rep-
resentatives of Blue Cross, Blue
public
Shield and other private insur-
ance plans, social scientists, pu
health officials and physicians,
sought to find out how health in-
. an information - will load to batter
protection.
One fact, however, stands out
clearly. As a nation we are now
pretty well committed to the idea
of voluntary health insurance. We
have long ceased to argue about
whether we want it or not. What
we want to know now is how to
spend our insurance dollar so that
we can gat the best health care
for ourselves and our families,
and how those who do not yet
have insurance can be brought
into the movement to broaden
our risks and lighten our tax
burden.

surance is changing our national
health picture, how well it is
working to relieve us of financial
worry over health problems, and
how we can, in the near future,
make it work better.
The segment of the population
interviewed by researchers was
selected on a scientific sampling
basis. It included all ages and in-
come group*, both large and small
families, workers in all occupa-
tions and both farm and city
dwellers in all regions of the
country. ---.. .—_—~ .
Clearly we want good medical
service and are trying to prepare
to pay 'or it. Currently 58% of
the population is meeting at least
part of the costs of having volun-
tary health insurance. It is evi-
dent, however, that sooner or
later all of us must be prepared
to pay for medical care. At some
time anyone of us may be faced
by extraordinarily heavy costs.
Only 9 families out of every 100
incurred no cost for Illness dur-
ing the year studied, but one
family out of every 100 incurred
costa in excess of $995. Average
costs for all principal health serv-
ices was approximately $207 per
family.
Future at Health Insurance
While health insurance has so
far been limited to helping peo-
ple meet hospital ana surgical
costs, it is now expanding to help
people meet other medical costs.
About five million of us —
less than 4% — have insurance
which provides substantially com-
plete medical service.
Thus, while the problem of pay-
ing for family medical costs is on
its way to a solution, the present
situation could stand considerable
improvement and more facts are
needed before the average family
head can know how to proceed.

When he finishes harvesting his
peanuts he blows the peanut straw
hack on his land. Well, you aak,
“What good does this do me?*
As we all know, moat of theso
fields we put in peanuts here in
the Bosque Soil Conservation Dis-
trict are all susceptible to wind
and water erosion.
By pitting the straw bark <
thp ground the first thing you
would save would be the cost of
baling the hay and putting it in
the barn. But, of course, tharo
are other advantages too—you re-
turn the minerals to the soil. The
peanut nay holds the moisture in
the ground for longer periods. This
In turn will increase the production
of your winter cover crop by mak-
ing more moisture available foi
the cover crop.
Now we think that those are
rood reasons for leaving the hay
oh the found. We, are passing this
information on to you and would
like for you to think about it and
then do what you can. If you are
not able to leave all of your pea-
nut straw o(T the ground, then
leave a portion of it and compare
the production of this particular
piece of ground to the production
of some whe'-e ait of the hay was
taken off. We think that you will
be surprised at the difference in
yield on these two pieces of land
the coming year.
