1 PROPOSE SICKNESS INSURANCE
TOR WORKERS IN COUNTRY
Washington, June 9—The feasi
bility of a system of .slckneaB in
surance for the United States and
for states, by which .wage-earners
would be enabled to meet the ex
penses of ill-health and .the var
ious health promoting agencies be
stimulated in the prevention [of
disease among industrial workers,
has been the subject of investiga
tion by members of the staff of
the federal commission on Indus
trial relations and the U. S. public
health service according to .an
announcement by the bureau of the
public health service here.
A system of sictauess Insurance
similar to thosA in operation in
European countries, states the re
port is based upon the principle
that the insured wage-earner, by
small weekly payments that are sup
plemented by proportionate pay
ments from employers and from the
government, will be enabled to re
celt e weekly cash benefits and medi
cal and hospital service for him
self and his family in times of
sickness. Employers, employes,
and the nublic will thus have a
definite financial incentive . to 're
duce the amount of sickness, and
the preventative agencies ! now at
work will be afforded a field for
closer co-operation with .industrial
and trade union organisations for
the purpose of lessening disease
Under .present conditions, it is
pointed out, millions of low-paid
wag* workers are .unable to meet
the expense of sickness and not
only suffer from .lack of proper
medical care, but are deprived of
their income during periods of ill
health.
