One of the first items listed
by President Ford as a
priority for this Congress to
finish was national health
insurance. 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

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

question whether one should
be developed.
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

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.
