THE COSTS OF MEDICAL CARE.
Abstract The costs of medical care have been the object of study for several years by a research staff engaged by the Committee on the Costs of Medical Care. The Committee is composed of fifty members, including physicians, dentists, nurses, educators, social workers, social scientists, labor leaders, and industrialists. The purpose of the study has been to determine the amount and distribution of the present costs of medical care, with a view to suggesting methods by which costs of production could be reduced, or by which the financial burden of sickness could be more equitably distributed. Many other individuals and agencies also have been concerned with studying the costs of medical care during the last several years, and the committee has drawn upon their research in the attempt to deal with the problem. Monographs on special subjects have been presented from time to time, and the publication schedule of the committee includes twenty-six titles. Sometime during the year 1932 there will be issued a final report composed of an analysis and interpretation of the findings, with recommendations for the correction of undesirable conditions.
