Immigrant Citizen, Greenstein Runs for Hawaii Governorship
Tribute to David Goldberg
By EDWARD C. LEVY
Chairman, Testimonial Committee
If there is a single person in our community who deserves to
be honored for his devoted labors in behalf of traditional Jewish
institutions, it is our kind co-worker, David Goldberg.
Ever since we have begun our efforts to aid Yeshiva Uni-
versity and the Einstein College of Medicine that is associated
with the university, as well as other departments of the univer-
sity, David Goldberg was the leader in mobilizing sentiment in
behalf of this and many other worthy causes.
Now we are honoring him—the occasion being his 60th
birthday. It is a glorious occasion for us—to pay honor for the
man who has extended himself to honor us, his associates, all
these years.
At the same time we have the opportunity to mark the '75th
anniversary of Yeshiva University and to welcome here again
the university's eminent president, Dr. Samuel Belkin.
I am happy, in behalf of the David Goldberg testimonial
committee, to pay him my respects, to acclaim what he has done
for us and with us; and to welcome to our community Dr. Belkin
who has inspired us to work for Yeshiva University.

The administration of the national government is supporting
legislation to- provide for payment of some hospital, nursing home
and home health services to persons over 65 years of age who are
eligible to receive social security. This proposal is called the King-
Anderson bill.
Everybody—physician and patient alike—wants elderly people
to have good hospital and medical care when and where they need
it. So, at first glance, the King-Anderson bill sounds good, doesn't it?
But let's take a closer look:
Q. Would these elderly people receive free hospital care if the King.
Anderson bill is passed?
A. No. They would have to pay $10 per day for the first nine days,
$20 minimum, and an additional $20 for diagnostic procedures.
Q. Would these people receive free medical and surgical care if the
King-Anderson bill is passed?
A. No/ Care by your doctor or your surgeon is not included in this
proposal ; only certain services of doctors who work full-time
in hospitals would be provided.
Then,
what would the King-Anderson bill cost the wage earners
Q.
of Michigan?
A. An additional 119 million dollars in taxes the first year, and
more in subsequent years. This would be paid by an increase in
social security taxes of 17%.
Q. Can elderly people with modest incomes now receive free medical
care without the King-Anderson bill, without endangering their
home ownership, losing their insurance, using their small savings,
and without paying anything themselves?
A. Yes. The Kerr-Mills (Michigan Aid to the Aged) Act provides
comprehensive hospital and medical care at no cost to them. In
Michigan this costs about 12 million dollars annually, paid half
by the federal government, 40% joy the State and 10% by the
county. This is quite a contrast to the 119 million dollars the
people of Michigan would have to pay for the King-Anderson
bill.
Q. Would people over 65 who are wealthy and not receiving social
security be eligible for hospital care if the King-Anderson bill
were passed?
A. Yes, they simply have to be eligible to receive social security.
Q. Would people over 65 who are not eligible to receive social
security be taken care of if this bill is passed?
A. No, they would get nothing.
Q. Do you think the King-Anderson bill would be a poor bargain
for the people of Michigan?
A. If you do, you agree with hundreds of thousands of people in
Michigan who are writing to their Congressman urging that he
vote against this proposed legislation, the King-Anderson bill.
You won't personally get a chance to vote on it. The only way
you can "vote" is to write your Congressman.
Q. Why would anybody want to introduce and support such a poor
bill?
A. Mainly for political reasons. It sounds like the bill would help
the elderly—and these people vote. However, the politicians
didn't figure that these elderly people were smart enough to
read the "fine print" and learn what the bill doesn't do.
