The Inter Agency Institute for Federal Hospital Administrators

摘要

At the present time the Federal Government has hospitalization responsibility, under certain circumstances, for approximately 16 of the entire population of the United States. These 26 million people include some 3'2 million Armed Forces personnel, including retired personnel and dependents; 2 million Federal civilian employees; 400,000 Indians and Eskimos; 150,000 American merchant seamen, 35,000 Coast Guard and dependents; 50,000 civilian employees of the Panama Canal Zone; 18,000 inmates of penitentiaries; 15,000 narcotic addicts; and 400 lepers. The hospitalization responsibility varies from complete responsibility to that furnished for injuries incurred while actually on the job.
