The spoken word is given scant attention; the printed word is thoughtfully weighed. The spoken word barely aterts, the printed word thoroughly convinces. The spoken woer is lost; the printed word remains. Our Country "' I"g Right or Wrong YOU CAN HAVE IT; WE DON'T WANT IT Federal compulsory health insurance such as proposed by the president would compli- cate the already serious porblem of social se- curity taxation. Under the proposed program actuaries estimate that the total for social se- curity taxes, inclusive of sickness insurance,. would eventually reach the equivalent of 17 per cent of payrolls, and possibly more. But burdensome as would be such large new taxation, the medical care question is much more important. For instance, we'll say the editor of The Star has a sudden attack of. epizootic (probably quite fatal by the sound, unless treated immediately). His wife calls for, a government doctor and is informed that she must fill out Form No. 22X7639-H20 in triplicate, which forms will be mailed to her immediately. While waiting for the forms to arrive she does all she knows for your poor editor, who by this time probably is gasping for breath and is tied into seven different kinds of knots, resembling a pretzel that has had hysterics. The forms arrive next morning and the editor's frau carefully fills out the forms, an- swering all 271 questions in full detail. Sht takes one look at Ye Ed, who now has turned a deep mauve color, and decides she will take the forms in person to the local gov- ernment medical office. When she arrives at the office the secretary in charge glances over the form, certifies it has been filled out correctly, hands it back to her and tells her to go right over to Dr. Dinglehoffer's office just across the hall and she will be taken care of. Feeling at last that something has'been ac- complishled, she hurries across the hall to'Dr. Dinglehoffer's office and is admitted immedi-' ately. The doctor glances over the form and emits a gasp. "How did this happen?" he says. "Your husband is a Democrat, and I only at- tend Republicans. You'll have to fill out Form No. E-170-23Z. How did you ever make such a mistake ?" So she picks up a copy. of Form E-170-23Z at the desk on her way out and returns home, only to'find that Ye Ed has now completely passed Put of the picture and needs only the .services of an undertaker, who, luckily, ar-e not yet. under government control. This example may be a bit exaggerated, .but from the experience we've had with gov- ernment red tape, we'd say it is not too much so. What we're trying to put over to our readers is that a mechanized governmental medical system, run from Washington, over- standardized, and open to political pressures, won't be worth two hoots in hades.
