Warren, local repre- sentatives , of International Scraraton, Pa., has announced the development of a new course of studies for non-high school graduates seeking high school equivalency ' diplomas fromrfee^SCate, Department of Education or local school The new program is, a Spe- cial Preparatory Course for the High School Equivalency Examination. Given in most areas of t United ..States, the High School Equivalency Examination makes it possible to formally recognize those who, through outside studies and work ex- perience, have reached an ed- ucational level equivalent to a completed high school:—pi' Preparatory Course this the gram. The trains students to. pass examination by covering areas of arithmetic,,,, basic Eng- lish, American Government, Physical Sciences, and Amer- can literature.-These subjects was based in part on a recom mendation that any such pro- gram conform \ to the original intent of Congress \when i \t formulated the Medicare and Medicaid programs. It also recognizes that the Medicaid rollback will leave a segment High School Equivalency \Ex- atnuptdon under five broad ed- ucational areas of general mathematical ability, correct- ness and effectiveness of ex- pression, interpretation .' of reading materials in , social studies, natural science and literary materials. Among the texts and instruc- tion services which make up this course are twenty-three examinations designed to test student progress. These exams are corrected by I.C.S. staff instructors, many of whom are former classroom instructors, registered professional en- gineers,' technical writers and editors and educational. re-' searchers. Those studoiits successfully iompletmg the I.C.S. course cf studies should^be capable of achieving a passing .grade OQ lhe_JHigiLSchool Equivalency Examination from any State offering this test. Dr. John C. Villaume, President of I.C.S., says that, \I.C.S. is under- writing the Preparatory Course with a pledge of assurance. If a student successfully com- pletes the ciburse, but fails to pass.bis High School Equival- ency Examination, I.C.S. will provide him with the necessary coaching and instruction ait no extra charge until he does pass this examination.' Compulsory Insurance Opposed by Physicians • ~\ '\•\ \' \ ; \; ~ \ \ . ' • -;• •• At Anniial Convention New York -*• The House of Delegates of the Medical Socie- ty of the State of New York put itself on record as opposed to Cobpulsory Health Insur- ance, a program which Gover- nor Rockefeller proposed al- most simultaneously in Al- bany. The vote by 268 physician delegates meeting' at the American Hotel reflected a concern that such a program would eventually result in state dictated standards of medical care. The resolution passed at the 162nd annual convention out- lined 15 .points which the state should consider in the even- tuality that Jhe proposal does come before the legislature.'-It ances and utilization of medi- :al services. The resolution al- so calls Tor assistance with premium costs for those eligi- ile for welfare aid. It would place the society in' an advis- ory role with the state on the wlicy-making level. In separate action the House of Delegates .protested that the administration of Medicaid is \unwieldy and costly\ and that 3ie state \do everything in its power to promote tire, adminis- tration of Medicaid by inter- mediaries.\ The physicians suggested a $5,300' annual in- come level for -eligibility in Sew York State to indicate ±at the society \has taken positive action in ,the interest of the medically indigent of are the same as. tested in the of-the population without ade- quate insurance protection. The 15 point in the resolu- tion would guarantee the right of 1rtie»patient to choose his physician and facilities. It sug- gests that the state department of health administer the pro- gram; that physician charges be based on \usual customary and prevailing fees\; that the scope of benefits be.adequate and the numbers of persons eligible be negotiated by the medical society and the state; that there be parallel coverage services wherever performed, and that co-insurance by the patient be required. The resolution also asks that premiums and deductibles, if any, be exempt from state taxes, and that medical assis- tance under Medicaid become effective only when the bene- :its of other insurance pro- grams are exhausted.. It sug- gests - -that insurance agencies be the carriers, and not- just fiscal intermediaries. It wou)d also forbid duplicate coverage for the same service. A license to practice medi- cine would be the only qualifi- cation required of physicians. Also, physicians would be re- imbursed for in-hospital ser- vices, and would be billed sep- arately. The State Medical Society would set up review commit- tees on quality of service, te iis state.\ 'lira 1 doclory alstr pproved a -recommendation Medicaid that differential ates be explored for eligibil- ty variances between rural and urban areas. They suppor- ed a deductible principle,,'and o - insurance , which would make the patient a paying artner in Medicaid. They pledged . continuing ef- brt to have \usual customary ind prevailing fees\..establish- d as the norm for physician charges, as it is under the'lvied- :are program for the elderly. They also voted a secondary osition that would authorize he\ State Medical Society 'to egotiate interim fees based a relative value scale. A resolution was also passed citing an \extreme shortage of Medicaid beds\. It said the wesent quota system for Med- raid beds should be abolished ir \revised sharply upwards\. Uso, that applications for new red facilities should feeL_aside certain number of beds for .fledicaid patients. In other actions the physici- ans voted to oppose the ion of chiropractors as \pro- viders, of service\ in'TKFTHeS' Happy Birthday <»* . . . and thanks, General Washington, for the great idea you put on the track.
