Even so, U.S. doctors' fees are rising twice as fast as consumer prices; hospital costs are soaring five times faster. Neither public nor nonprofit private insurance is adequate to meet present or projected health requirements. In 1968, despite Medicaid, 20% of all Americans under 65 had no hospital, 22% no surgical and 97% no dental insurance...
Poverty Gap. Roman Catholic hospitals and many Catholic and Orthodox Jewish physicians will have nothing to do with abortions. To them the law, like the procedure, is anathema. But a surprising number of nonsectarian "voluntary" hospitals (private but nonprofit) are imposing restrictions that are generally tighter than the law requires. The effect is to shunt many cases to "private" (meaning for profit) hospitals, which are making a financial killing as high-class abortion mills, while the poor, who are most in need of cheap, safe operations, are getting the least benefit from...

He is now, in fact, a director of the magazine's parent corporation, the nonprofit Consumers Union of U.S., Inc.

Founded along with Consumers Union in 1936, CR took 30 years to reach a circulation of 1,000,000. In the past...
...great, national exchange will in time take the place of the many that now exist. As a first step, the New York and American exchanges may merge entirely in the next few years. However farfetched it may seem, some Wall Streeters argue that a combined exchange should become a nonprofit foundation: members would not buy seats but earn them through competitive examinations...
Preventive Advice. The crunch comes in New York City. Until a code is promulgated in about three weeks, there will be no local regulations governing abortions. Then, health officials believe that 15 municipal hospitals, plus about 40 voluntary (private but nonprofit) hospitals will be able to handle the cases of local residents. They have no clear idea what will happen to women who flock in from Connecticut and New Jersey-and probably much farther afield -where a legal abortion is still virtually unobtainable...
