treatment has increased. Advances
in equipment and drugs have made
stays shorter.
Overall, the report showed, half
the families surveyed had Blue
Cross-Blue Shield coverage. It
found that these plans provided
more protection than private in-
surance. However, in both areas
group policies were more compre-
hensive than individual policies.
The extent of coverage varied
with the type of care. While ap-
proximately four-fifths of hospital
care was met by some insurance
means, less than one-fifth of doc-
tor bills were paid by this method.
Without Coverage
"Nearly half of all medical ex-
penses are virtually without insur-
ance coverage," the report stated.
Costs of medical care are un-
evenly distributed among families.
Half had total health costs of less
than $200, but one in five paid
more than $500.
"The incidence of extremely high
medical expense for any individual
has almost no relationship to his
economic resources. The low in-
come person is quite as likely as
anyone to contract a disease re-
quiring long hospitalization and
expensive treatments," the report
said.
Doctor's Aid
Two out of. three persons re-
ceived services from a doctor each
year and one in three visited a
dentist. The average had a com-
bined total of approximately six
visits a year.
Except for the highest income
group, there was little class varia-
tion in seeing doctors. Because of
this, the financial burden of doctor
bills was noticeably greater among
low income families.
All age, family size, insurance,
and other factors being equal,
families with incomes of less than
$2,000 consume twice as much
health service as those with in-

Briggs Says Businessmen
Must 'Take Responsibility'
s
By CAROLINE DOW
Businessmen must speak out for
business and take responsibility
as citizens in the community,
power executive Robert P. Briggs
said at the fourth annual Business
Leadership Award Lecture Friday
night.
Briggs, former vice-president of
the University for business and
finance, is the first alumnus to
win the award. The honor is ac-
corded to a "businessman of ac-
complishment who has shown an
understanding of the responsibili-
ties of business to society and an
interest in business education."
"Most businessmen are in the

middleground" between the two
positions of freedom under capital-
ism and complete government con-
trol. "They must articulate their
convictions for society and taxe a
position of leadership in carrying
out those convictions," Briggs
stressed.
Rapping the country's citizenmy
for "economic illiteracy," Briggs
said that high schools and col-
leges do not require enough eco-
nomics and send students out into
the business world without know-
ledge of the "basic rules of the
game."
"We cannot condone" the recent
infractions by business of the anti-
trust laws, he said. If business
violates, instead of working to
change, the laws under which the
country operates, then it "brings
aid to critics who wish our free
enterprise system to fall," he said.
Business must: answer union
charges, tell what inflation does
to social security and insurance,
tell the whole tax story and com-
municate these facts to the public,
Briggs emphasized.
Problem Acute
This problem is particularly
acute among all the aged. It is not
unique to just those on social se-
curity.
The report suggested several
means for aiding low income fami-
lies and the aged meet medical
care. For families consistently at
the bottom ,of the income scale,
it suggested that the state might
pay insurance costs at a suitable
level of benefits.
Other means could be use of
public assistance, and a medical
assistance plan patterned after
the one for the aged.

Dahlberg Hits
HUAC Film,
The movie "Operation Abolition"
is being used for propaganda pur-
poses and should be viewed with
great discretion, Edwin H. Dahl-
berg, former president of the
National Council of Churches said
Thursday.
The chief criticism of the Coun-
cil against the film concerned the
editing, Dahlberg said. "Events
were put together out of sequence,
giving a false impression." The
film depicts student demonstration
against the House Un-American
Activities Committee in San Fran-
cisco last May.
He also pointed out that the
acquittal of Robert Meisenbach,
one of the students, on charges of
hitting a policeman at the demon-
strations was an indication that
the film did not accurately repre-
sent the students' actions.
