Aid For The Medically Indigent, Jacob Meerman, Millard Long

Vanderbilt Law Review

In the following paper we discuss the ability of low income groups to purchase needed care, consider the private alternatives to government action, find these deficient, and hence review various proposals made to the Congress. Finally, we examine a proposal which, while originally propounded in the early Fifties, has received little attention in the recent debates. To the authors, it would seem the best approach to care for the indigent.
