Control Policy

NEW YORK (CPA) — The
House of Delegates, the Ameri-
can Medical Association’s pol-
icy-making body, “seems to be
against everything that threat-
ens the profits of a doctor's
private practice,” Life maga-
zine said in a blistering attack
on that body recently.
The magazine noted a recent
resolution passed by the House of
Delegates * which “branded the
federal regulation that provides
free diagnostic service for
crippled chilren as ‘socialistic’.”
Said Life; “If the 185 members
(of the House of Delegates)
could conceive of how utterly
weary and cynical the American
publie has become from hearing
the AMA snarl ‘socialistic’ and
‘socialism’ at everything it does
not completely approve of, they
would hang up their stetheseopes
(and their megaphones) and re-
tire to the culture of petunias.’

Mossbacks

In a comment on what was
described as “political mossback-
ery”, Life cited an agreement be-
tween New York’s Mount Sinai
Hospital and Housing Commis-
sioner Stirran, whereby, in ex-
change for rent-free space in the
low-cost Carver housing project,

hospital undertook to provide

|but he ended up with soaked

Profits

given in the patient’s apartment.

“This Spring, New York Medi-
cine, official publication of the
Society (Medical Society of the
County of New York) declared
that the plan would ‘closely re-
semble socialized medicine, if put
into effect.’

“The chairman of its Commit-
tee on Medical Economics, a Park
Avenue obstetrician, in declaring
Stichman’s plan ‘Utopian’, added
for publication in the New York
Times: ‘He said the doctors at
the clinie would have to make
house calls . . .@ suppose he’d
like to serve them breakfast in
bed too.’ By ‘them’ the chairman
meant the patients who might be
too ill to be moved. His little joke
must surely be one of the great-
est of its kind since Marie An-
toinette said, ‘Let them eat
cake’.” :

Shouted Down

The magazine said that when
Federal Security Administrator
Oscar Ewing declared for com-
pulsory health insurance, “the
AMA shouted him down and even
lobbied to defeat a smaller ex-
tension of social security that
would have given him more
power. This victory, coupled with
the Lisenhower landslide, seems
to have gone to AMA’s head.
Added Life, “According to le-
gend, a king named Canute once
ordered the tide to stand still,
