TO THE
EDITOR
f
Dear Editor:
Your recent editorial entitled
"the Impressive Facts.” quoting
figures provided by the Ameri
can Medical Association was
most thought provoking. These
figures, which I presume to be
accurate, appear to indicate
that the medical care and costs
of the elderly are being ade
quately met by existing pro
grams and therefore no addi
tional program is necessary.
This set me to thinking about
the subject. I have done a little
research and I find that the
AMA figures do not reflect the
whole story. Let me give you
some figures.
Only 10 to 15 cents of every
dollar the aged spends on med
ical costs is reimbursed by
health insurance.
While an estimated 50 per
cent of the aged have some
form of health insurance, 50
percent do not. The 50 percent
who do not have insurance are
those with the lowest incomes.
Only one-third of those with
incomes under $2,000 a year
have health insurance; only
one-third of those over 75 have
health insurance.
The cost of adequate health
insurance coverage for an aged
couple is more than $400 a
year. This is one-sixth of the
total income of the average
older couple.
The cost of hospital care has
risen from an average of $9.39
a day in 1946 to $34.98 a day
in 1961.
The average person over 65
can expect two or three illness
es during retirement requiring
hospitalization. A couple can
expect five such illnesses.
One out of every six older
persons will be in a hospital
somtime in the next year. On
an average he will be there for
at least two weeks at a cost
of $900.
The average income of an
older couple is $50 per week.
The average single person over
65 has an income of $20 a week;
if he lives with his relatives,
his income averages $9 a week.
Fully one-half of all retired
people have no income other
than their social security pay
merits. One-third of aged fan
dies have less than $100 in to
tal liquid assets.
The Kerr-Mills program, in
the states which have chosen to
participate, provides assistance
to but one out of every hun
dred of the aged. Each state has
different criteria but, on the
average, aid is denied to any
one with an income over $1500.
or with liquid assets exceeding
$1000. or with any form of in
surance, or with relatives who
might pay the bill.
The Kerr-Mills program has
been called an “administrative
monstrosity” by the New York
Times. Six of the states parti
cipating spend over 25 cents of
every dollar on the administra
tive costs of managing the pro
gram. Tennessee spends 60
cents of every dollar on this. In
contrast, a medical insurance
program — under social secur
ity, available to all 65 or over,
without a pauper’s oath attach
ed—would have administrative
costs of but 3 cents of the dol
lar.
The above figures indicate to
me that, contrary to the opin
ion of the AMA, older people of
ths country are having an in
creasingly difficult time meet
ing the costs of medical treat
ment. This is a nation - wide
problem and I believe some
thing should be done about it.
Sincerely yours,
E. L Bartlett
