In T the indigent, nursing homes re- ceived S75 billion in tax monies in fiscal 1974, compared with S480 mil- lion in 1960. ' No doubt some of this money fur- thered the government's objective, which was, of course, to relieve medical problems and worries. It is not necessarily bad that the money attracted entrepreneurs into nursing home operations, since new capac- ity had to come from somewhere.

Were there in- adequate nursing home standards? Were state and federal auditing pro- cedures inadequate? Did the act really help the indigent or did it merely transfer them from largely private to largely public care? For example. many indigent patients were under the care of religious ini- stitutions, which still receive little or no government funds. There is less than ample evi- dence that the American people have gotten real value for their tax money in the government social pro- grams of the last decade. Too many, operated by HUD, HEW and other agencies, have been afflicted with Q mismanagement and even scandal.

Officials can discard program features that don't work, and expand those that do. Besides, even small progress can be of great value to the individuals affected. A new medical treatment may lengthen sur- vival time for vlctlms of a particular dis- ease by only a year, but for the victims and their families, that's a significant gain. Many politicians and social scientists argue that large new social programs should be delayed until careful tests deter- mine just what works, and the current study would seem to support that argu- ment. But the authors reject it. In many cases, they declare, such delay is politically uru'ealistic.
