HEALTH IN HANDCUFFS

by Dr. John A. Kingsbury ‧ RELEASE DATE: N/A

Two books presenting different aspects of socialized medicine were published earlier in the season. Now comes a far less general book than those, an essential one for the progressive doctor. It discusses today's handicapped position, medicine versus profits, ill-balanced distribution of hospitals, disproportionate sickness between rich and poor, statistical analysis of various solutions and recent proposals. He analyzes the work done by various agencies, the President's report to Congress, the Wagner Health Act, etc., and makes no bones about stressing the pigheadedness of the AMA. A comprehensive piece of work, with figures in black and white, but the form is such that it would not be interesting to the layman. There are certain surprising omissions, -- for instance the work done towards cooperative hospitalization.
