Socialization Has No
Place in Public Health
Is Belief of Doctor (ox
AUSTIN, Texas.4—Socializa-
tion has no place in either ptib-
lic health or thy private prac-
Hee-oF-medicine? State Health
Officer George Cox has said in
a statement aligning himself
with "the medical profession
against socialized medicine.
Public health is a separate,
distinct field from private med-
icine, Dr. Cox .raid. Both pro-
fessivns have their separate (ib- - iur. ann airjs. nrnesi nueiintiv
jectives, and distinctive mvth-- a-rrd son ot SHm Autmiio .visited
ods of accomplishing them.
He declared public health’s
objectives to be:
1. Public education as to
how to avoid disease by such
means as vaccination against
theLmallpox anjl| typhoid .fever
his arid immdmzation against
diphtheria. -
2. Investigation of disease
outbreaks. . •
, 3. Quarantise and isolation
of communicable disease cases,
thus preventing its spread.
4. Inspection of water sup-_
plies, and control over the safe
production and sale of milk,
drugs, and food products.
“But,”* the health officer
added, “people get sick and
accidents happen, and the job
of curing and patching up is
the business of the private
practitioner of medicine—-the
’family doctor and the speCial-
-v uavc ;aMcu uic annual ,st-” ’ ’ , ' '
inspection biH, Which re- Doctors in private practice
- - advocate public health prin- -
ciples when they urge moth- J
home Jjjlks. during .the week- steering apparatus. The auto-
end. mobile owners must have a against diphtherial and .
........ smallpox, and public health < —
officials “need their help in the 3*^
vital work of maintaining n
high level of well being for all
Texans,” Dr. Cox asserted.
“We aren’t in competition
with doctors in private prac-
tice. Public health people de-
plore tho idea of socialized
medicine as unworkable, cum-
bersome, and totally inef-
ficient. r * _ __2^.
“There is no place on earth
that has a better system of
medical administration than
the United States.- Private
doctors deserve the credit.
“And there is no place on
earth with a higher standard
of public health. Rublic health
people . deserve j credit for
that,” the* doctor concluded
emphatically.
