SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP)--Gov. Goodwin J. Knight advocates voluntary private health insurance plans written like $50 or $100 deductible auto collision policies.
If private insurance companies can't handle the load alone, he told his news conference yesterday, he favors setting up a non-competing state medical insurance fund which would offer policies on a strictly voluntary basis.
Knight said his idea was a better solution than President Eisenhower's proposal for a system of government reinsurance of private medical plans.
The governor favors letting private insurance companies write policies under which the insured person would pay the first $100-- or whatever the deductible figure is and the company the rest.
