November, 1967 BULLETIN BOARD 503 The Month in Washi n^ton The American Medical Association urged that Congress precisely define "public health services" to prevent the so-called "Partnership in Health" legislation being used as authority for unlimited expansion of government medicine. In a letter to Chairman Lister Hill (D.Ala.) of the Senate Committee on Labor and Public Welfare, Dr. F. J. L. Blasingame, executive vice president of the AMA, said: We are especially concerned with a lack of definition with respect to comprehensive public health services. Neither 'comprehensive' nor 'public health services' is defined in the law or the bill. While we recognize there is supportable advantage in removing strict categorization of grant funds, we are concerned that the categorical identification having been removed, there will no longer be any limitation on the health care which may be provided. Indeed, from testimony on this legislation by government officials, it would appear that our concern is justified. It is the intent that the Congress is authorizing a program of individual treatment for unidentified patients for unspecified conditions for unlimited services. It is clear that the lack of definition of 'public health services' is, in effect, an invitation from Congress to unlimited expansion of 'public health' beyond its traditional role in the community. The AMA has supported, and continues to support the furnishing of public health services. We have also supported flexibility of operation within the state and local health departments as an effective tool for community health. We feel, however, that the distinction between the public and private health sectors should be delineated ... in more positive terms than the mere prohibition against interference with the existing patterns of private profesisonal practice. . . . Accordingly, the Association finds itself unable to support this portion of the legislation providing for an undefned program of comprehensive public health services. The AMA also opposed a provision for federal licensure of clinical laboratories on the ground that licensing of such facilities traditionally has been a state matter. "We believe that federal licensure of these facilities would establish an undesirable precedent," Dr. Blasingame said. National Institutes of Health The cooperation of physicians is requested in the referral of patients for a study of constrictive pericarditis being conducted by the Metabolism Branch of the National Cancer Institute at the Clinical Center of the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Maryland. Of interest are patients with constrictive pericarditis associated with hypoalbuminemia and edema. Studies on these patients will be directed at determining the relationship of the hypoalbuminemia and edema to protein-losing gastroenteropathy, lymphatic abnormalities, and immunological defects. Physicians interested in having their patients considered for admission to this study may write: Warren Strober, M.D., or Thomas A. Waldmann, M.D., Clinical Center, Room 4N116, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda. Maryland 20014.
