This article provides information about the book "Sickness and Insurance. A Study of the Sickness Problem and Health Insurance," by Henry Alvin Millis. Millis has a suggestion of his own to make: that compulsory health insurance be limited to the major disabling illnesses requiring hospitalization, but that it be supplemented by extensions of the public health services, plus cash disability benefits administered through the Social Security Act. This, as Millis points out, is "the British plan turned upside down," the emphasis of the British panel system being on general practitioner care.
