The article presents information on U.S. medicare in the early 1960's. The case lot medicare is so strong that it is bound to spread the world over. But it carries with it risks and dangers to patients and doctors alike. These must not be minimized; rather they must be examined carefully, so that they can be avoided. The benefits of medicare are obvious, the risks subtle. The arguments in favor of medicare are simple and over-whelming. Good medical care is and is bound to be, expensive. In the years ahead, as the science of medicine expands, it will become more expensive. It follows that most people will be unable to pay the full cost in cash at the time they receive treatment. This means that we must insure.
