cc: Mr. W. H. LouviereThis will acknowledge receipt of your letter of July
2, and confirm our discussion when you were here yesterday.
Our architect is now working on revised plans and until
we get these along with cost estimates, we will just let
the matter of financing rest, including the donation
either by our companies here or the Kempner Fund.
I don't think the John Hancock Insurance coverage
will increase either the use or' income of the hospital.
I do think though that it will benefit our collection
problem as this new coverage will more readily take
care of the actual hospital charges than was the case
under the Provident coverage. Further, I don't think
this new coverage will have any particular bearing
on our negotiations for an increase to a flat fee of
44.00 per month for our employees Hospital Plan as
the benefits under our local plan are much broader
than the John Hancock coverage.
Finally, I don't think this new coverage will have
any effect on limiting the space for non-residents
as, in the first place, our local people under this plan
cannot enter the hospital without the doctors approval,
and, in the second place, I don't believe anyone will
want to go into the hospital unless absolutely necessary
re:=ardless of what kind of insurance he ml lit have.
As soon as we assemble the facts or Patient Occu;.ancy
in the Hospital for the first six months of this year
a report will be furnished you.
Yours very truly,
