Doctors Warned Against Danger in Legislation
At the Texas Blaze Medical association annual session in the Gunter hotel Houston doctor Dr E W Bertner warned 2500 members that compulsory sickness insurance proposed by the National Health conference would strip doctors to a state utility role and threaten medical initiative. He warned doctors could become political agents under such a plan and urged caution regarding broader health reform measures as debated in Washington. The address followed other speakers discussing medicine in change and the dangers of federal overreach in health policy.
