DOCTORS AND INSURANCE.
AN OUTLAWED ASSOCIATION. LONDON, December 23. The "Daily Chronicle,*' which denounces the action of the Britsih Medical Association in declining the Government's last terms under the National Insurance Act. says that the meeting decided to organise a boycott of all insured patients in ill the hospitals, excepting cases of urgent illness or the really necessitous poor.
The "Daily News" violently assails the Medical Association, and accuses it of syndicalism. The paper declares that the association is outlawed in public opinion. By its own act the association, and not the Insurance Act, is destined to be wrecked. •The Times" says that the root of the trouble is the refusal of the doctors to be placed under the heel of the lay committees.
