New Hospitalization
Legislation Enacted
To Provide Care For Rural as
Well as Industrial Areas
Preparatory to the enactment of
Senate bill 181, recently passed by
the senate by a 31 to 3 vote and the
house representatives 119 to 3, the
Ohio Hospital association has appointed a special committee with C.
A. Hyre, associate director of the
Miami Valley hospital, Daj^n, as
chairman, to guide the hosflpals of
the state in securing the greatest
benefits for all of the hospitals and
people of Ohio.
This bill will make it possible for
hospitals in all the cities and towns
of Ohio to enjoy the same rights and
privileges that have been enjoyed by
the hospitals in the more populous
centers of Cleveland, Toledo, Akron,
Canton, Youngstown, and Columbus,
through the formation of hospital associations.
These associations give to subscribers full hospital care when needed for a period of twenty-one days
in their own choice of hospital. It
also allows entire families to enroll
and each receive twenty-one days of
hospital care, all for a very nominal
monthly sum. The associations are
operated by the hospitals of their respective communities and are strictly
on a non-profit basis working greatly
to the benefit of the communities.
When the law becomes effective on
Julv 12, plans will be formed in every
part of the state and those residents
of rural areas as well as industrial
centers will have a chance that they
have long waited for. There are now
over 300,000 subscribers to present
existing plans and these will pay hospitals bills at the rate of close to a
million and a half dollars for this
year. "  n,'f
Senate bill 181 was sponsored by
Senator Robert Pollock of Stark
county and received the support of the
Ohio Insurance department as well
as insurance companies in every part
of the state.
