Two Editorials on Michigan Blue Cross Fettnred below are the foil texts of two editorials whkh appeared in The DETROIT TIMES on

February 26,1956 and in The DETROIT FREE PRESS on February 27,1956. Because they present the

considered editorial judgment of two of Michigan's great newspapers, we are reprinting them in full

as a public service for the information of our 3,600,000 Blue Cross members and all the people of Michigan.

From The Detroit Times, February 26

BLUE CROSS FUSS We dlJnt suspect a week ago today, when we

started a series of articles on Blue Cross, that the fuss over hospital prepayment would attain the in-tensity it has now rteclMd.

The amount of bfillabaloo, frankly, is getting out of hand.

Rep. Allison Green has a bill for the Legislature, which he fondly hopes will solve everything It won't.

Insurance Commissioner Joseph A. Navarre has been quoted with some remarks which we suspect he will regret when he begins to realize what he has said.

A group of unions in DeUuit and Flint is propnting to set up a rival "Blue Cross plan," which is entirely within their rights, eved though we doubt it will look as simple to them once they have gotten into what it> a very complicated problem.

Of the three—Rep. Allison, Commissioner Navarre, and the unions-we think the unions are behaving most reasonably. We differ with them only in our opinion as to whether they CAN produce what they think they can. , i

But of the whole lot, we think Blue Cross and its present managers are the most capable of providing what we want. We think Blue Cross is getting a vicious and needless pushing around

In our news atories wc have tried to tell what was happening without letting our opinions sway us.

But this is the editorial page, and this is our opinion, and we are sayifcg what wo think.

First of all, a series of articles which N^an con-currently in another Detroit paper is, for all we know at this moment, still running. We don't have any quarrel with the facts in i t

We do believe it has placed too much emphasis on *4over-utiluation''-that is, the complaint that some people either stay too long in the hospital, or get in under Blue Cross when they shouldn't—when they aren't really sick.

The Times reported that We can take you back in the files a couple of years and show we were the first newspaper to report there was some of this chiseling going on. It should be halted. We think it is being halted

But it makes a rather sensational subject to write about-and some people Ulk too much about i t This "over-utilisation" while it does happen, is not occur-ring to the extent that it makes any vast difference in premium payments.

And that is the most important issue in this whole

is not as great Why do we think "over-utilixatkm" i some people try to suggest?

First because a Blue Cross study group itself was the first to dig into the matter. No attempt to hide

an effort lu correct the rituatkm, aince subscriber is paid for by all the

anything, U « chilling by o

Second, Blue Cross, by subsequent and continuous inquiry, thinks that this evil is under good control, even though there is still an occasional violation.

Third, because Michigan isn't the only Blue Cross plan. The same general plan exists in all the states, each under its own laws and hs own management.

If the plan here happened to be at fault, in some way, it is hardly possible th t all the states would be at fault in the same way.

Somewhere in the country we would find that Blue Cross rates were markedly lower-we would find i t •Hat fa. If Michican's Blue Cross were letting the cus-tomers get away with murder.

Somebody would have found a solution, and would be bragging about i t But no, rates are pretty com-parable anywhere you go.

Therefore, we suspect this "over-utilisation'' has been publicized into a bigger fault than it really is. We don't think very many people get much fun out of going to, or staying in, a hospital.

Now Rep. Green thinks he could bring about lower rates, and thwart all the chiselers (such as there are —most people are honest) by a law making Blue Cross change its policy.

He would make everyone who uses blue Crosi pay the whole cost of the first day in the hnapital (the most expensive day, because then you have all the tests, and usually the operation if you need one) and also pay 15 per cent of the cost after the seventh day.

Of course that would reduce the premium you pay for Blue Cross—but you'd soon find it didn't save any money. Furthermore, it would put the biggest burden

on the people who are most seriously ill Who that?

a a o

Rep. Green, with the best of intentions, has simplified the situation. Besides, he wants to maka this compulsory foe everybody-doesnt even went to give subscribers a choice of which way they'd rather do i t

Commissioner Navarre, for reasons which escape us, has indorsed Rep. Green's notion. We suspect some politics somewhere, because we think Navarre ought to know better.

We wonder, too, why Navarre has questioned the sincerity of the Blue Cross in offering a so-called "deductible" policy.

People have been able, if they chose, to buy such a policy from Blue Cross for upwards of the last year.

Blue Cross made no secret of the feet that such a policy was being offered. People could have i t at a lower price, if they wanted i t They didnt want i t

To get back to the unions, now. They'd like a policy which gives more benefits at lower cost. Who doesn't like the idea? Who doesn't want the good five-cent cigar back, or the $700 automobile, or the three-cent newspaper, for that matter? We'd like them all back.

But you can't slap economics in the face. You cant legislate Utopia. And so far as we are concerned, you cant aay that

Blue Cross hasn't been doing a good job. Its prices ha vent gone up any faster than factory

wages. It has been so good that it now has 3,600,009 people, or hall of the whole state, using Blue Cross and liking i t

o e •

Trying to make out, all of a sudden, that something is "wrong," or that acyne simple little bill in the Legislature can turn time backward and make things coat less-that's nonsense.

We don't think this union group can do h, either, but well concede their right to try. At least they aren'i; trying to tell everybody else how to do i t They're unde.taking to show how to do i t

We think, flatly, that Blue Cross is a fine thing, and we hope all the noise won't fool the people and unduly alarm them.

Blue Cross is merely a victim of our riaing econ-omy juet as everybody else is.

TRYING TO SPOT THE REAL VILLAIN Old melodramas had their advantages. It wa>. aasy

t villain. This ii hospitalization

skyrocketed. Many think Blue Cross has thrust its hand too deeply into the pockets of ha 3,600,000 Michigan subscribers. Investigations are being made, bills are being submitted to'the legislature, and the air is blue with charges.

Much is still being learned, but we think some observations caa bf r r t ^ now.

The public's drmnnd in the Itst decade for bettar medical and hospital car£las been great. Therefore, oa top of infiaboo must be added the cost of this imptovod csrc. An inrreese in Blue Croes rates might, then, be considered automatic.

The question is: Do the alfafedly excessive rates reflect only inflation and'Improved care?

Ample proof to the contrary appears In surveys of hospital cases covered by hospitalization insurance. The studies mdicatc clearly that alarming abuaM have cropped up. These take the form of unnecessary hospitalization, prolonged stays for convenience or comfort And exooasive uae of drugs and bboratory factlitioa.

The problem remains same. Whom'do |W bias

Is it hospitals for operating inefficiently? Is it physicians who find it convenient to group patients in hospitals for quick and lucrative rounds of call that require only an hour or so each morning? Is it patients who unnecessarily demand and get from their doctors a hospital bed and costly care? Is it Blue Gross for permitting such known abuses to continue?

Frankly, we suspect the answer to all such ques-tions may be "Yes!"

At least one offered solution appears to be pre-cipitous and ahort-eighted. A bill introduced in the Michigan Leglalature suggests a deductible plan simi-lar to auto inenranre. The proposal to make aub-scribers pay for the first day of hospitalisation end 15 per cent after seven days no doubt would cut rates. It alao would greatly reduce the value of the service. It would not we believe, strike hard enough at the abuses. '

I t would, however, seem logical to offer optional plana. Blue Cross has such a plan, in which the patient pays the coot of the first two days and $2 a day for

the remainder of the hospital stay. The' saving of but 16 per cent in premiums does not seem adequate, considering that the average stay is seven days. Blue Crock also is readying a "catastrophe" policy, but if the saving is no greater than offered under the year-old deductible plan it too probably will not be widely popular.

One additional thought stands out prominently Physicians, through their dealings with patients and because they contra', both the hospitals and the Blue Cross organization, have failed, in our estimation, to take an active public stand on the abusas under the voluntary hnspitalisatioo insurance plana.

Because they are so closely involved in the abuaeo and because voluntary plans were their answer in a period when socialised medicine appeared around the cornar, they should be available to counsel the pablk. The public wholeheartedly accepted the volaatary plans and should have the wise advice of doctors. ' Since Blue Cross is a 5100,000,000-a-year busi-ness, the entire problem should be thoroa^ly examined, calmly, circumspectly and publicly.

ADDITIONAL TELEPHONES make life easier for the entire family. Telephones

in the kitchen, the play-

room, the bedroom—wher-ever they a r e needed—

save time and s*eps. These

additional telephones are

especial ly important if

you have a baby or two in the house. With a telephone at your finger hps, you don't have to leave your tots even for a minute when the phone rings. (And a minute is all they need for harm

or mischief!) Why not ask about those additional phones today? They only cost a few pennies a day.

THERE SEEMS TO BE n o end to the value of

the telephone! New uses

f o r it are turning u p al-

most every day. For in-

s t a n c e , a s u p e r m a r k e t

recendy requested Mich-

igan Bell to install tele-

p h o n e outlets at the end

of the shelves, with lines running to the stock room.

A j soon as the merchandise runs low, the shelves can

be immediately replenished. So the chances are when

you walk into this store, you'll find just what you're

looking for , right where it belongs. T h e telephone

does serve in so many ways, doesn't it?

DO YOU SAVE pieces of string? The telephone com-pany is like t h a t . . . o n l y more so. Odds and ends of wire and worn parts are care-fully collected because they have real value. Tons of this scrap are shipped eqch year

to Western Electric, supply uni t of the Bell System.

There they are fed into giant furnaces, melted and

remade into wire and brand-new parts. This thrifty economy is important to all of us because it helps keep the cost of telephone service down.

ROADMASM 4-Door Riviero-curtom-bolh by Bolck

THE SUFEI 4-Door Riviera, Model 53

—Buick's exrra-spacious medium-price buy

THE CENTURY 4-Door Riviera, Model 63

—Duicfc's top power buy

THE SffClAL 4-Docr Riviera, Model 43

—Suidc'i biggest buy In the low-price field

B i g ig news in hardtops these days is the 4-door model.

And the biggest news of allis Buick's 4-Door Riviera. Ever since its introduction last year, this handy Buick hardtop has taken the country by storm.

But the newest note about this newest of models is the price choice Buick offers you.

Now you can have this much-wanted Buick model in four different price series-and that's a choice youll get nowhere else.

Now you can have the 4-Door Riviera in the custom-built ROADMASTER, the extra-spacious SUPER, the supremely-powered CENTURY, or the bedrock-priced SPECIAL.

What follows from there? Plenty-really plenty.

For in every 1956 Buick there's a wealth of thrills — a

spirited gait—a trim maneuverability-a sheer enchant-ment in styling.

In power, it's a pistol. Every Buick packs a high-torque 322-cubic-rach V8 engine-each Series with the highest horsepower and compression ratio in Buick history.

In take-off, it's trigger quick. A new Variable Pitch Dynaflow* betters the best Buick getaway on record-with instantaneous response at the very first inch of pedal pressure, and engine revolutions at normal cruis-ing speed.

In emergency, it's double-barreled —with that new Dymflow changing to full-power safety-surge accelera-tion the instant you floor the pedal and switch the pitch.

And in roominess, in luxury, in handling ease, in ride steadiness, in directional sense-youll discover a literal truth:

This fa the best Buick yet.

Can you come in tomorrow to see and sample the great-est Buick ever-and to note the prices that make this the best buy yet?

*Ncw Advanced Variable Pitch Dynaflow is the only Dynaflow Buick builds today. It it standard on Roadmaster, Super and Century-opiional at modest extra cost on the Special

Our tears are dried from the Lee game, but we still find it difficult to find the many reasons for the defeat. The more obvious reasons are the unnecessary fouls that coat us two of our regulars.

Another reason seems to be the "Big gym jitters'—we have not looked good on any of the larger gym floors where a little team ought to shine. Yes, I would accept a new gym.

• S - l a l l for the underdog. Plenty of proof - of this is shown by the present

game between Northwestern and MSU. After state had gained a 27 point lead, the bored State fans be-gan pulling for the underdog. Fin-ally an encouraged Northwestern team took the lead 93 to 92!, but a foul shot by McCoy finnally won fcr State.
