HEALTH INSURANCE
(To the Editor.)
Sir,—l read with very great interest indeed, your report of the British Medical Association's statement _ regarding Health Insurance. It is to be hoped that our legislators will take due note of the facts brought forward by these people, who are after all the people most closely in touch with the real facts. All those who are of the tax-paying class> view with considerable concern the ever-increasing burden of taxation. True, we must pay for the necessary^ social services, but it is true, too. that all new schemes to improve the social amenities should be carefully scrutinised before their cost is added to the already huge total. After a very careful scrutiny of the B.M.A.'s report I consider, Sir, that our Government could very well accept the guidance of that body in furthering schemes for medical assistance in the country districts, and accept their advice in inaugurating a nationwide campaign to remove the causes of illness—nearly all of which are associated with the evils of bad housing conditions.—l am, etc..
TAXPAYER,
