“SOCIALIZED” MEDICINE
ALIVE
Our good doctors in smaller
cities and towns just go ahead
and do a lot of medical work
which in larger cities wouldn’t
get done at all or only after the
patient has dragged around from
doctor to doctor trying to find
one who will help them at a price
they can afford to pay.
So you can be sure that so-call
ed socialized medicine —or more
accurately, compulsory health
and medical insurance—is still a
very much alive issue and is in
evitably going to become a more
powerful issue until doctors get
together in a genuine effort to

Tarver Hits Target
Jack Tarver, associate editor
and columnist of The Atlanta
Constitution, hit the nail square
on the head the other day. He
wrote, under the title “Look
Doc, Here’s The Score," as fol
lows:
The retiring president of the
American Medical Association an
nounced Monday that inasmuch
as the threat of socialized medi
cine is now dispelled, the AMA
is dropping the four-million-dol
lar “public education campaign”
which it began three years ago.
Congratulations, doc! On call
ing off that so-called “education”
campaign, I mean. Some of its
aspects were pretty awful. That
business of offering cash prizes to
the writers of the best newspaper
editorials against socialized medi
cine, for instance. How clumsy
can you get?
Sick Kids
But don’t kid yourself, doc,
about the threat—and I use the
word with the same connotation
as you do —of socialized medicine
being dispelled. If anything, I ex
pect the American people are
more receptive to the idea of so
cialized medicine today than they
were when you began your high
powered “public education cam
paign," although not necessarily
because of it.
The threat of socialized medi
cine will continue so long as pan
icky parents whose kids cry out
in the night are told brusquely to
call the office in the morning for
an appointment.
The threat of socialized medi
cine will be with us so long as
hospitals require a week’s pay
ment in advance, so long as re
ceptionists show a greater inter
est in a patient’s solvency than
his symptoms.
“Limited" Facilities
The threat of socialized medi
cine will be a real one so long as
doctors live in the fanciest hous
es and drive the biggest automo
biles in underdoctored towns; so
long as intelligent youngsters,
eager to serve humanity, are turn
ed away from medical schools
with the explanation: “Sorry,
we’ve got 10 times as many ap
plicants as our limited facilities
provide for.”
I realize, of course, that there
are many of these things for
which doctors cannot reasonably
be held responsible. But a man
with a stricken child or a suffer
ing wife or a piercing pain in his
abdomen is not going to stop to
reason. Men act without thinking
when they or their loved ones are
hungry ... or when they or their
loved ones are, sick. Hunger
brings on revolutions and, while
we’ve never had any widespread
starvation in this country, we are
I having lots of sickness.
Don’t get me wrong, doc. I’m
on your side. Some of my best
friends are doctors ... or at least
were until this morning. I just
think it’s time you . . . and they
. . . woke up to what the score
is.
