PnkJiaaTs TAGMTS and child care services and an ex pansion of medical research and education. Above all it must bring adequate medical and hospital care within reach of all the people. Today, approximately 100.000. 000 Americans cannot afford ade quate medical care. National Health Insurance, covering the population, fianced primarily thru contributions from employees is the answer. It will enable every one to receive comprehensive me dical services. It will make all Americans free to go to doctors and hospitals of their own choice, free from worry over the costs, free from fear of the unpredict able. It will assure most doctors more adequate and more stable incomes. | HOW WILL IT WORK? Every worker will pay approxi mately one and one-half percent of his income (up to $3600) into a "Health Service Account”. Em ployers will contribute an equal amount. In return the insured AND HIS FAMILY will be entit led to complete medical and hos pital service. HOW WILL IT HELP DOCTORS? In addition to assuring them more adequate and more stable in come, National Health Insurance will make it possible for them to practice in communities of their own choice, even in low income rural areas without loss of income. They will be able to make the marvels of modern medical care 1 available without concern about I the patient’s ability to pay. HOW WILL IT HELP FARMERS .'lore doctors ana specialists win be given incentive to practice in rural arear! Most important it ! will enable rural areas to construct and maintain adequate hospital and health facilities. A farmer’s ! low cash income will no longer be a barrier to good medical service ! for himself and his family. Rural medical and hospital cooperatives will be encouraged and given fin ancial assistance. HOW WILL IT HELP VETS? VETERANS AND THEIR FAM ILIES will be assured access to complete medical service from the doctors and hospitals of their own choosing. Special benefits now af forded a veteran through veter an’s hospitals are limited to his own service-connected disabilities. HOW WILL IT HELP BUSINESS About five hundred million man days of work are lost annually due to illness and accidents. Fuil medical care under National Health Insurance will decrease ab senteeism. labor turnover, and in crease productivity. Business men and their families, moreover, will also be eligible for benefits. WHAT WILL IT COST? The cost of National Health In surance will not be greater than our present insufficient and waste ful fee for service system accord ing to a report of the Subcommit tee on Health and Education of the Senate Committee on Educa tion and Labor.

Only 2.5 percent of the popula tion are insured for comprehensive medical care under voluntary plans after more than 100 years of effort.

Utilities District will Bear Entire Cost of Converting Gas Appliances Gas Change Must be Made Next Summer in Order to Meet City’s Critical Gas Needs... Regardless of NATURAL GAS Election Result. Omaha's need for additional gas supply is critical. The city must make a change in its gas next summer, regardless of the outcome of the Natural Gas election November 5. If Natural Gas is approved by a majority of voters—the changeover will be made to straight Natural Gas. If Natural Gas is not approved—then a change-over will be made to an 800 B.t.u. mixed gas, containing 75% Natural Gas, now authorized by state law. In either case—your gas appliances will have to be converted to use the new gas. There will be little diiierence as between converting your appliances to Natural Gas or mixed gas. The process is almost exactly the same. The expense of converting your gas appliances will be paid for entirely by the Metropolitan Utilities District. Whether the change is to full Natural Gas or mixed gas . . . you will pay no charge whatsoever, either for materials or labor. NO BOND ISSUE OR PUBLIC DEBT WILL BE NECESSARY IN ORDER TO PAY FOR THE CHANGEOVER. l--——-—-—i Please consider these points as you make up your mind about NATURAL GAS: 1, Omaha is now using a 50% mixture oi Natu ral Gas, and this mixture must be increased to 75% il voters do not approve full Natural Gas November 5. 2, You are not voting as between Manufactured and Natural Gas. You are voting your choice between 75% Natural Gas and full Natural Gas, because our present gas must be ad vanced to 75% Natural Gas mixture regardless of the election outcome in order to meet the acute need of the city for a greater gas supply. 3, In either case—a changeover will have to be made next summer. The cost will be paid for by the Utilities District 4* Gas engineering authorities have advised the city that a 75% mixed gas would be only a temporary measure and that within a tew years Omaha would have no choice but to go to lull Natural Gas service. Putting oil the decision to go to full Natural Gas would prac tically double the changeover expenses. 5, Approving full 100% Natural Gas now will assure abundant gas for all purposes in the future, and will avoid further inconvenience, expense and difficulty as Omaha's gas de mands increase through the years. If You Want NATURAL GAS 0 VOTE YES! BOARD OF DIRECTORS Eugene D. O'Sullivan, Chairman W. O. Larson. Vice-Chairman ■ Willard H. Quigley MD Frank L Frost Allen A. Tukey C. Con Healey Walter S.
