The article presents information on health Insurance in Austria. Every salaried worker be insured for medical treatment by what was known as a Krankenkasse. Employer and employee were to share the expense. All forms of insurance are paid for together in one premium amounting to 15 per cent of the total salary. The insurance companies are private but under governmental control. The latest law with regard to these companies distinguishes only two types: those with a purely geographical distribution, comprising a single system of forty-five units divided over as many sections; and those with an industrial distribution in the separate trade organizations.
