Perspective HEALTH CARE PROPOSALS BY RONALD REAGAN "The administration is at­ tempting to lead the country down the path of piecemeal health reform that has failed in the past and already threatens to bankrupt the health care system." If you find it hard to believe that this sober warning on the effects of increased government interference on health care costs was uttered by Sen. Edward Kennedy, so did I! The senator registered this warning, along with , his "serious disappointment," upon learning that President Carter has opted for a gradual socialization of our health care system instead of Kennedy's own sudden socialization. What the administration has proposed is "Phase One" of its eventual goal, a compulsory national health plan. If the administration has its way, "Phase One" will begin in 1983 at a cost of $10-15 billion. This program would be aimed at making "significant im­ provements" in care for poor and the aged, and would provide insurance for those who are said to be inadequately protected from the costs of catastrophic illnesses. But Sen. Kennedy isn't satisfied. He has bigger plans. Lost in the Kennedy-Carter health car scuffle is a lesson that we should have learned in our experience with Medicare and Medicaid ~ once you unleash programs such as these you might as well throw all your original cost estimates out the window. In 1963 and 1964, proponents of Medicare testified before the House Way§ and Means committee, and their estimates of the program's long-term costs formed the basis of the decision to go ahead with it. For one thing, the experts predicted that hospitalization costs paid for by the federal government under the provisions of Medicare would reach nearly $2 billion by 1979. Instead, those Costs will easily reach $20 billion or 10 times the original estimate. And, the total costs of the Medicare and Medicaid programs will reach - at the very minimum - $40.09 billion this year. Those who claimed during the debates over Medicare- Medicaid in the 1960s that these programs would be the first foot in the door to massive government interference in health care have been proved totally correct. Those who view the administration's new proposal as only a limited measure and perhaps even an acceptable alternative to Kenney's outlandish scheme must believe in the Tooth Fairy. ********************** '"V GIRL SCOUTS Ipjptylpipip^ipiplplpipipipipipiplpipipipii* (Written under the auspices of Lieutenant Governor Dave O'Neal) Q. What are the duties of the •tate of Illinois Commission to Revise and Rewrite the Public Aid code? A. Legislation creating the commission charged the commission with the respon­ sibility of conducting hearings, receiving testimony and gathering information relating to a revision and rewriting of the Illinois Public Aid code; to request expert witnesses on the subject of welfare policy; to review all possible options available to states under the Social Security act; to recommend a model public aid code; to conduct whatever inquiries, analyses, studies and research are necessary to the development and construction of a model public aid code; and to report back to the :Minois General Assembly with a report and law. Q. What type of legal changes could affect senior citizens? A. The commission will be considering changes in the code and these changes may affect senior citizens in such areas as revision in medicaid provisions, nursing home reimbursements, and social services, such as in-home medical care. Q. How can code revision affect senior citizens? A. Policies and procedures of the department of Public Aid are based upon federal law, state law, federal regulations and judicial decisions. What the commission does in the way of rewriting the Public Aid code could affect senior citizens because the department of Public Aid would be required to comply with any new provisions or changes in the law. Q. Why was the commission created? Troop 410 Troop 410 went on a field trip to a quarter horse stables recently. They have also just finished working on their cooking badge. They made biscuits, muffins, donuts and three casseroles and had a full meal March 22. We hope they had a nice time and nice weather on their field trip. Troop 415 Troop 415 went behind the counter at an ice cream parlor and picked which ever ice cream flavor they wanted, and choose their own toppings. They, also went to a beauty school and had their hair washed and set which ever way they wanted. Sounds like they have really been on the go. Troop 320 Troop 320 went to a fast food restaurant and had a free hamburger and coke with their tour. They also went to Livingland to see how to care for horses, chickens, goats and rabbits, and to take a nature hike. They will also be going camping on April 6, 7 and 8. Troop 88 and 408 Troop 88 and 408 are planning a train trip on April 17 to he Loop. They will go on a half hour tour. They will go to the Art Institute and see "Image of Man", then go on a self guided tour of the Chicago public library and a trip to the top of Sears Tower. Troop 88 made posters for Day Camp as part of their printing badge. They are also working on some new songs as part of their Song badge and are planning to put on a show, at a later date. Troop 150 Troop 150 went on a tour of a restaurant. They have also collected food for FISH, and will be donating one month's dues to UNICEF and are also planning a one day outing at Shabbona at the end of April. Maybe the weather will be nice for their outing.

Named for her daughter, the late Barbara Vogel of Wonder Lake, the department was established for treatment and study of patients with tumors and blood disorders. working on their vests last afk. They will be cutting and sc. .ig their vests by them­ selves. They also sang some songs for their music badge and did some dancing for their dancers' badge. On April 4 they decorated some boxes for the food they are collecting for FISH. They will also be helping FISH sort the food out. The Oncology laboratory at Sherman hospital has been named in honor of Barbara Vogel, a victim of leukemia in 1974. A memorial fund established at the time of her death and according to her wishes made the establishment of the laboratory possible. Barbara Vogel, of Wonder Lake, was a graduate of Woodstock high school and taught special education and served as regional coordinator Northwest Team for Ex­ ceptional Children, with offices in DeKalb. According to Dorothy Plambeck, RN, head nurse of the unit, currently the Vogel laboratory is treating about 400 patients monthly seen on a referral basis. Sherman hospital continually receives contributions to the Barbara A. Vogel Memorial from many areas throughout the state - people who wish to contribute to this living memorial with the hope that one day questions which surround leukemia and other cancer-related diseases may be answered.
