EXPLAIN FACTORS AFFECTING BILLS FOR HOSPITAL CARE Brownies News The Brownies made some THe average person hasn't the vaguest idea as to vhow the costs of a hospital bill are arrived at. The only thing he knows is that it looks high to him. However, many factors affect the hospital bill in a community, factors and forces beyond the control of the hospital itself, causes that grow out of the changing environment in which the hospital exists. Bertram Hanson, administrator for Memorial Hospital for McHenry County at Woodstock. says that the hospital only wants enough for its services to pay for its costs. He says the hospital is a nonprofit organization but that it ro'yst. of course, pay for its own S^Tfvices. This cost is pro-rated to the public but because a hospital is a special type of institution which must always, be ready for occupancy whether or not occupied, the pro-rating is of a special nature. In a recent article in a national hospital journal, Ray Brown, superintendent of University of Chicago clinics, outlines the forces which affect the community's hospital bill. These forces are cultural, economics and medical. It is im=~ very pretty planters for their mothers for Easter. Each planter was hand-painted and each had a plant growing in it. Brownie leaders. Dot Erbin and Shirley Montbalbano; took the girls on a hike last Tuesday afternoon. We hear Dot and Shirley came home pretty beat-- See you all again next week.

FRETT & SON BUILDERS portant that everyone understand the farces. Because of the spread of hospital prepayment coverages--or hospital insurance--the hospital bill is becoming largely a community bill Increasingly underwritten by the well rather than by the sick. This means that the public must increasing>y visualize the hospital costs in the terms of a monthly insurance fee rather than as charges for the services received because, when services are received, they will not be related to the payments. However, those services are paid by the community because insurance companies charge indirect ratio to their costs. Certainly no resident of McHenry county would want any of the new services, new techniques, or new therapy curtailed. They want their hospital to be an up-to-date and accredited institution.. But, when the bill comes, they should remember it wasn't put together idly, it was created out of factors existing in the community. If.it was any less, the hospital miglit' not be what you need it to be when illness or accident hit? your hoivc.
