Health care decisions lie ahead, Mrs. Roy says
Bv KENNA GIFFIN
In the next few years, Americans must decide what kind of health care they want, the equity with which it will be dispensed and how it will be paid for, Mrs. Jane Roy, a district court trustee from Topela, told about 50 people attending a Lawrence League of Women Voters meeting Thursday night.
Mrs. Roy spoke in place of her husband, Bill Roy, physician and a former member of the U.S. House of Representatives. Congressman Roy was active in presenting health legislation in the House.
Mrs. RoyRead her husband's talk, An Agenda for Physicians and Legislators, on the problems and prospects of health legislation. She focused on Roy's views on the health legislation and his agenda of decisions that must be made.
forces that are determining our nation's current health problems," she said.
from these forces, "Three medical facts of life Emerge," she said. "One, that we cannot do everything for everyone everywhere, two, that if we cannot do everything for everyone everywhere, then we must decide what we are going to do for whom, where, when, and why." The only one is only of the things that determine health.
Americans consider personal health care to be a human right, Mrs. Roy said, and they are more likely to take that responsibility.
*Expenditures for health have increased from $38.9 billion in 1965 to $18.1 billion in 1975—a 300 per cent increase over a 10-year period," she said. "The portion of the GNP (gross national product) spent for health has increased from 5.9 per cent in 1965 to 8.3 per cent in 1975."
Health care costs are rising rapidly as medical
science and technology expand, she said. There is a need to seven years for medical knowledge right now.
She said that health care in America was already rationed by its costs, its unavailability in some areas, the inability of some patients to find a point of care, and the chance utilization of already limited resources.
National health insurance would also ration health care, Mrs. Roy said. She discussed in detail five possible systems of national health care payment.
First, we can continue with our present system of private health insurance, government payment for the indigent and out-of-pocket payment for uncovered services, she said. This system gives us unlimited funds and latitude for innovation and the adoption of new services.
However, this system also includes costs that are increasing to the point of unaffordability of services
and a dual system of health care, in which some pay fully for their health care while others costs are not.
The second possible system she described would be a return to free market forces. Private health insurance would be prohibited and some kind of guaranteed annual income so that everyone would be financially able to decide the kind and extent of health care they desired would be needed, she said.
This system would make the health care system open to anti-trust actions and rules for increased freedom of market for those providing services, she said.
A third system would combine the present system of payment plus catastrophic health insurance by private companies or the government, Mrs. Roy said. This system would need strong legislation to ensure that all workers are covered for economic increases. The individual would pay for normal expenses, as one does now, but would be covered for
very large expenses under the catastrophic insurance, she said.
The fourth system would be national health insurance with full government payment. Personal health care would be limited because the government did not provide it, and would receive. However, the system would offer equity and affordability for the individual. There would be a risk of inadequate funding since the system would compete for funds with all other government programs. The central planning and regulation, she said.
A combination of national health insurance and private insurance would make up the fifth possible system, Mrs. Roy said. The government wouldn't determine the total distribution of health services, but it could be possible depending upon what kind of insurance the government bought for the poor.

Doria said that the greatest benefit of the proposed co-op would be to provide a retail outlet for the artists' and craftsmen's products.
Currently, about the only means available to artists and craftsmen of marketing their creations are shops, Doria said.
Doria said this would benefit art purchase because artists could price their articles more reasonably knowing that 30 to 40 per cent of their profit would not be taken.

Another advantage of the proposed co-op, or said is, that the co-op members could be more involved.
Carter, meanwhile, pledged to make the fullest possible use of women in advancing his programs and announced yesterday the need for more female leadership called the Committee of 51.3 Per Cent.
He said he would be making a detailed speech on women's issues later in the week. He also promised to support passage of the Equal Rights Amendment, enforcement of laws against sex discrimination in employment and housing and ending discrimination against women.
In a letter made public over the weekend, Church told campaign workers in Utah that he planned to endorse Carter today. He has written to the governor and go to Carter for one follow Church's lead.
Jackson added, however, that he would not formally release his 221 delegates.
Carter will be in New York City today, seeking the support of New York delegates to next month's Democratic national convention.
Brown and Rep. Morris K. Udall of Arizona will also address the New York delegates. Sen. Frank Church of Idaho, who received the meeting, canceled out yesterday.

Carter continued his fence mending with former rivals Saturday, meeting in Montgomery, Ala., with Gov. George Wallace. The meeting was one of the few publics that "puffed and mushed portly."
Wallace has already released his delegates and announced his support for Cohen.
Carrier's fence mending moved into high gear as mot part of officials acknowledged that the fence had been damaged.
He talked last week by telephone with Maryland.gov. Marvin Minden, a key man in Brown's victory over Carter in that state last month, and Carter aides said he has called other Democratic figures, including Sen. Edward M. Kennedy of Massachusetts.
Reagan picked up 18 of 19 delegates selected Saturday at the Missouri Republican State Convention. Ford and Mitt Romney had both campaigned at the convention.

There was no direct comment from Ford on the Missouri outcome, but a deputy press spokesman said he was disappointed with the results.
As he flew to California for several days after he the Missouri meeting, Reagan said his "sunbelt strategy" is working and that he has the confidence with a little help from the mountain states.
There are still 10 states where Republicans will pick convention delegates at state conventions. Reagan is pimping his job as governor, and the new New Mexico, Colorado and Washington.
The six target states are the final pieces of the "sunbel strategy"—Reagan's plan to capture the GOP nomination with big cities in the southern and western states.

Asked if he might be a possible selection for vice president, he said: "I doubt that it will be offered. I have doubts that I would take it if it were offered."
Newsweek reported yesterday that Ford's advisers are pushing Connally and Tennessee Sen. Howard Baker as possible runningmates.
Polish freedom different native instructor declares
Bv GARY WALLACE
"Poland—not yet lost while we still live!"
This refrain from the Polish national anthem speaks of a smoldering freedom both in the past and in Romana Boniecka carries in her mind.
As a guest instructor of the University of Kansas slavic department, Boniecka has spent the past year comparing America with her Polish homeland.
"The first question students always ask is, How did you get out?" she said.
"Americans still envision Poland as it was 20 years ago."
Twenty years ago, Bonnieka was a political dissident repressed by Communist Party leader Wladyslaw Gomukla for her involvement with dissident university intellectuals.
She speaks of a freer Poland now, one that permits unimpeded travel and criticism of the government. Bonnieck believes most Americans measure freedom in terms of personal liberty. In contrast, she is the struggle for national freedom.
"The Polish people are primarily concerned with freedom from repeated invasion, subjugation, and persecution," she said. "My generation, like others before it, have seen the tragedy of losing our country. America has existed for 200 years without ever knowing this heartache."
Boniecka said the memory of war is eked deep into the Polish soul. She recalls her mother clawing among hordes of starving countrymen to grab fermented potato peels dumped into the streets by the Nazis. She recalls being herded out into the streets to witness the merciless executions of a firing squad.
When the war ended Bonieke learned
to use a knife and the officers shot
in the Katyn Forest massacre.
"You really don't know the value of freedom until you've dug your out from home and have seen how far you have gone. One of my most vivid memories of Poland was watching my countrymen salvage a streetcar from the debris and working together to make a refreshment stand out of

Basketball camp teaches self-control, Owens says
Instilling discipline in young people is as important a part of basketball camp as teaching basketball skills. Ted Owens, the University of Kansas, said Friday
Owens is directing the ninth annual Ted Owens Basketball Camp, which is for players from seven to 17 years old. The players try to improve their offensive, defensive and ball handling skills.
"You can't be successful in this world without self-discipline and self-control," Owens said.
The campers pay $135 for one week of instruction from Owens, Sam Miranda and Duncan Reild. KU assistant coaches, Theo Sullivan and Roger Minstormer, form KU forward.
The third weekly session of the camp begins today, with another week of boys followed by one week of girls' camp. During this time, boys are beginning in the program since its beginnings.
"The coaching staff believes the week is more organized and successful when we are firm with the campers. The camp is hard work, but a lot of fun." he said.
Miranda believes the campers get their money's worth because of the personal instruction for each camper.
The campers are divided into age groups to work on skills which they use during scrimmages. The players in High and Central Junior High School.
"With a staff of 29 coaches and plavers.
we are able to help all campers with their basketball skills," Miranda said.
When the afternoon break is announced all campers are rounded into center court and walk quietly in single file to receive a popsicle. Once outside the gymnasium the campers can talk and everyone seems serious about the camp.
Each day is packed full with basketball.
Wake up call is 7:00 a.m., and basketball is taught, played, discussed until bed at 10:00 p.m.
Edmond said the test given each week to the campers on the fundamentals of basketball, which includes block dribbling and quick handsling, is difficult, but informative.
"We have strict discipline and it should be that way. The coaches have cooperated with the campers just great," he said.
Camper Chris Edmond, 12, Topeka,
said he has learned a lot of basketball
skills and enjoys the coaches.
"Sportsmanship and responsibility is also stressed." Edmond said.
Slagle, Krattli sign contracts, head for minors
Roger Shagle and Tom Krattli have signed contracts with major league baseball teams following their selection last week in the spring draft of free agents.
Slagle, a right-handed pitcher, signed a contract for an undisclosed bonus with the New York Yankees of the American League. He is named to a class "A" minor league team Wednesday.
This year Slagle pitched the Jaywhacks to their best win-loss record ever, earning a 7-3 record and a league leading 1.19 earned run average.
Floyd Temple, KU baseball coach, declined to speculate on the amount of Slaghe's burden, but said he doubted it was too much. Expos boss gave Steve Renko, the last pitcher from KU who was drafted and signed a deal with the Chicago Cub.
Temple said Slagle's age and an old arm injury probably would keep his bonus down. Both Slagle and Kratth get the standard league fee, but get the year minor league players. Temple队
Krattli leaves for Sarasota, Fla. to join the Kankan in the Kentucky City sales "A' farm in the city," which includes a third base for the Jayhawks this spring, was drafted as an outfielder in the 12th round of the NL.
Neither Slagle nor Kratli anticipated being drafted by two teams, because the team was a defensive force.
Elliott Wahle, the Yankees' assistant
director of Minor League operations, said
yesterday that Slagle was drafted on the basis of reports from scouting systems the Yankees belong to, and from scouts who play players only for the Yankees.
Bruce Carnahan, a Royals' representative, said the Royals thought Kraitdill had the mechanics to play the outfield, and that Kraitdill's experience playing with good athletes in both baseball and football was a factor in the Royal's choice.
Krattli, a junior, said he would return to KU for the fall semester, but would report to the Royals' training camp next March and wouldn't enroll for the spring semester.
Slagle graduated from KU in May. He had considered an offer from the San Diego Pudres from the National Academy of Slager after they drafted him in the winter free agent draft last December, but couldn't talk about a contract with him this spring while he was still playing.
See DRAFT page 4
Slagle silenced doubt this spring,
however, when he won his first three starts,
Another factor in Stlagle's decision not to sign with the Padres when they drafted him last year was a serious arm injury that cast upon his value as a major league pitcher.
Before the 1975 baseball season, a tandem in Slager's arm pulled loose from his shoulder bone, then was damaged further by doctors during the operation. He pitched only two-thirds an innning that season, and was granted another year of eligibility by the league.
