The proposed plan provides only putt of desirable coverage and benefits, offers nothing in facili ties, but does furnish limited serv ices at a cost which is only slight ly excessive The plan provides hospitalization without a hospital, and suigery without a surgeon. Its cost, $lll per month ur $1333 pet year, is higher than the New York or Abington hospital insur mice schemes, which do not include surgery, noi ,permit so ninny hos pital days, but which do provide better hospital accommodations.
