The piece recounts the Yates and Whitfield family who moved to black Zambia in 1964 and later returned to Seattle.

Walter J. McNerney of Blue Cross warns that health care consumes about 10 percent of U S output, or 547 dollars per person annually, while millions remain uninsured or under cared. He calls for a new health philosophy emphasizing total environment and better access without higher costs, noting imminent political leadership changes.
In an interview with McNerney, he argues the U S health system needs overhaul to curb costs while expanding access. He supports greater federal Medicaid involvement, area planning, broader outpatient benefits, fixed prepayment care, and robust health maintenance organizations focusing on prevention. National health insurance could widen access but must avoid boosting expenses, with private insurers playing a key role. He projects costs rising 13–15 percent in 1976 and forecasts 15 percent in 1975.
