Criticize Medici
Waste In Veterans
Administration
WASHINGTON, (/P. — A report
criticizing waste and duplication
in government medical services
brought a warnnig today from
Capitol Hill against economies at
the expense of veterans.
The report was drafted by a
"task force” of the commission
headed by former President Her
bert Hoover studying government
al reorganization.
' It said that this year alone more
than 44 government agencies
spent approximately $1,250,000,000
for health and medical services
and 24,000,000 persons were taken
care of by the government in some
degree.
The report saw no letup in
spending next year, noting that
the Veterans Administration alone
will spend as much in 1949 for
medical services as all federal
agencies spent for that purpose in
1948.
“The federal government is as
suming uncalculated obligations
without any understanding of
their ultimate cost, the lack of the
necessary professional manpower
to cardy the mout. or their adverse
effect upon the hospital system of
the country.” the report said.
It cited cases of new hospitals
being built by one agency in the
neighborhood of existing and un
filled hospitals operated by an
other agency. Dozens of federal
hospitals could be closed and the
patients transferred to other quar
ters, the committee added.
The committee said Congress
should “clearly define" the bene
ficiaries of federal aid and added
‘too large a part of the medical
. resources of the armed forces are
devoted to the care of civilians,
veterans and dependnts of mili
tary personnel.”
Hep. Albert Thorees <D.-Tex.\
who may head the House appro
priation.^ sub-committee ha.uiiin.,
j veteran >’ funds in the next Con
l
i g‘ess, was among .hose who cau
tioned against economizing pt the
' possible expense of ex-service
men.
j And Rep. Martin <D.-Miss.». who
will head the House veterans com
m:tu»°, commented:
i “Once before we economized a‘
he expense of our veterans when
we passed the so-called economy
act <the depression era law which
trimmed veterans’ benefi s, among
other things'.
I
“5 nee then we have come :
1. ng way and our veterans now
are receiving the finest attention
* that the medical profession can
give. I would oppose taking away
any of the needed services regard
less of the cost.”
In his own s'atement, Hoover
''mjvhnsized that “we all want our
veteran-? and members of the arm
ed services to have first-rate med
ical care.”
But the problem, he added, “is
to provide such care without over
taking our limited number of
‘rained physicians .and other med
ical resources.’'
The comnrt ee suggested among
other things that a health insur
ance system he set up to care for
veterans w; h temporary ailment -
not a result of their service. The
gov? rnment would pay the pre
miums fo- vo crans unable to do
- o.
Another proposal was that the
government o ther provide s'rrvlar
health nsurnnee for many of the
do-aondents arrange to pay for
'h*-ir care in community, j'athrr
than federal, facilities.
