Doctors Cite Maternity Plan Flaws
The Rensselaer County Medical Society met at the Roy Health Center Tuesday and, in a unanimous vote, disapproved the Emergency Maternity and Infant Care program proposed by the Federal Children's Bureau and New York State Department of Health. They argued the plan infringes on individual rights and freedom of action of those it aims to assist, despite its aim to fund full care for wives and infants of servicemen.
