Washington, May 22 (®—The ilis of the medical profession in relation to charges made for treating the ills of the people are to be investigated. Plans for a five year program of research by a committee of eminent physicians, sanitarians, economists, and laymen with a view to solving ithe question of how a family of moderate means can secure adequate medical attention as a cost which it can afford were announced here to- day by Dr. Ray Lyman Wilbur, president of Stanford uyniversity and chairman of the newly organized committee, The investigation, the first of its kind ever to be attempted, will be conducted jointly by the American Medical association, the Metropolitan Life Tnsurance company, the public health service and other agencies. Financial support has been supplied by the Carnegie corporation, the ilbank memorial fund, the Russell Sage foundation and the Twentieth Century fynd. “The importance of the problem may be better appreciated,” said Dr. Wilbur, “when it is realized that the present cost of iliness to the people of the United tSates 1is probably over $5,000,000,000 per year."” He said there were a million per- sons engaged in curing and prevent- ing disease and more than five bil- lions invested in hospitals and other yet “a large group of persons are not recelving neede? medical treatment at costs within their means.” “Complaints of high charges are beeoming frequent, and I fear some At All Meals .
