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.
