He asked Congress before we adjourn this year “to sweat out a sound compromise” among the various plans offered. But even this Presidential call to action does not change the controversial nature of the national health insurance concept. There is still much argument about whether the results of such a program would be better or worse health care for Americans. There is also a lack of agreement on whether the HAY & STRAW SALE EVERY WEDNESDAY AT 12 NOON PAULZ. MARTIN SALESSTABLES 2 miles East of Intercourse Sale managed by Harvey Z. Martin PHILIPSBUBG 307 Alder St WHITE DEER Route 15 result would be better delivery of health care to American families. The whole area of cost is one of the bigger stumbling blocks. The Administration has submitted a plan that would require employers to offer employees insurance programs covering standard health benefits, provide Federally subsidized coverage to the poor and restructure the Medicare program for the aged. The estimated cost of this proposal is $6 billion. There is a Senate bill proposing a much more extensive health care program that basically has the Federal Government picking up the health care tab for everyone. The cost is correspondingly greater - estimated at $6l billion. Those are more or less the extremes that must be compromised if congress is to adopt a comprehensive health care plan. However, I am doubtful that a satisfactory comprehensive program can be developed before the end of the year, and there is considerable 931 Loader IF YOU OWN A JOHN DEERE 4508 .. .an IH TD7 ... or a CASE 450 ...

Rather, it appears that because the costs are so great and the controversy so important to our medical future that anything done by this congress should be a modest start toward meeting the real fears of people regarding health care needs. Instead of a comprehensive ‘health program, it appears more likely that we will act 3 on a catastrophic health care plan. The chief fear of many people is that they will be faced with a serious illness where the costs of treating it wipe out their savings and burden them with a huge debt. Congress could act, and in my opinion should act, to protect Americans from this kind of problem - catastrophic illness. the main question here is just what represents a catastrophic illness, do annual health bills of $2OOO, $3OOO, or. $5OOO represent the unbearable burden? Naturally the higher the figure, the less cost there will be in terms of tax dollars I* HAS MORE MILK CAPACITY • PERMITS FASTER MILKING • ELIMINATES EXTRA HELP • PROTECTS MILK QUALITY • IS 100*. SFLF-CLEANING • HAS ELECTRI'- CONTROLS • FITS INTO ALL BARNS • EASILY INSTALLED spent. But, the higher the figure the less helpful the program is for low income families. The other question is how* such a program should be financed. I am doubtful that the Social Security System, which is having financial difficulties anyhow, can assume the burden. Therefore, it may have to be paid for out of the General Fund meaning that the budget must be adjusted accordingly.
