North Carolina urged to expand doctors and hospitals
The first of two editorials reviews the State Health and Medical Care Commission's recommendations to boost doctors, hospitals and medical insurance in North Carolina. It calls for a four year UNC medical school, a loan fund with incentives for service in underserved areas, regional medical schools for Negroes, and a 600 bed hospital plus $5 million building fund with county matching funds to add beds and facilities. It advocates Blue Cross style insurance to cover hospital and medical costs, arguing the plan is not socialized medicine but shared responsibility to reduce illness and economic loss.
