tour "Health Bank Account"
Grows Each Month
Here's a wonderful benefit, no matter which plan
you choose-almost like having an extra "Bank Ac-
count." When your policy is issued, your insurance
provides up to $10,000, $7,500, or $5,000-depend-
ing upon the plan you choose. This is your "Health-
Bank Account.”
Then, every month your policy is in force, a sum
equal to your regular monthly premium (including
your first month) is actually added to your maxi-
mum! When you have claims, your benefits are sub-
tracted from your "account." it’s much like putting
money in and taking it out of a bank account.

Why You Nnnd Ertra Cash
In Addition To Ordinary Hospital Insurant*
Anyone who has been in the hospital recently knows
ordinary hospital insurance—even Medicare—simply
will not cover everything. You have to pay many
"extras" out of y our own pocket—and it can add up
to hundreds of dollars in a frighteningly short time.
But even if your ordinary hospital insurance cov-
en most of your medical and hospital bills, what
about the bills that keep piling up at home?
If you, as husband, father and breadwinner are
suddenly hospitalized, your income stops, your ex-
penses go up. Even if you have some kind of "salary
insurance" it probably won't come close to replacing
your full-time pay.
If your wife is suddenly hospitalized, who will
look after the family, do the laundry, the marketing,
the cleaning? You may have to take time off from
your job—or hire full-time domestic help—to take
care of things at home.
If one of your children is suddenly hospitalized
you will certainly spare no expense. You wouldn't
oven think of the cost.
If you’re over 05 and are suddenly hospitalized.
Medicare, fine as it is, won't pay all of your hospital
expenses or any household expenses. Most senior
citizens won't want to use up savings it may have
taken a lifetime to accumulate... they want to retain
their independence and not become a "burden" to
their children or community.
Without "extra cash" protection, a hospital emer-
gency may leave you with savings gone, debts you
can't pay, peace of mind shattered—even your recov-
ery can be seriously delayed by money worries!
Enjoy Life-Long Security
For as long as you live and continue to pay your
premiums, we will never cancel or refuse to renew
your policy for health reasons-and we guarantee
that we will never cancel, modify or terminate your
policy unless we decline renewal on all policies of
this type in your entire state or until the maximum
(Aggregate of Benefits) of your policy has been paid.
You May Actually Coma Out
"Money Ahead"
Because The Doctors Hospital Plan pays you in
addition to any other company's health insurance
you carry-individual, group or even Medicare-and
because all your extra cash benefits are tax-free, you
may leave the hospital many dollars ahead...money
you don't have to account for to anyone. Of course,
you may have only one like policy with Physicians
Mutual.
FAYS YOU: $100 weakly
($14.28 daily) extra cash
when you ar* hospitalized. $75 weekly ($10.71
daily) when your wife It hospitalized. $50 weekly
($7.14 daily) for each eligible child hospitalized.
If yours is a young, growing family, we recom-
mend the All-Family Plan. You and your wife are
covered at once for accidents, for new sicknesses
after 30 days, and for maternity benefits after 10
months. And all your children (including future ad-
ditions) between 3 months of age and under 21 are
included at no extra cost as long as they are unmar-
ried and live at home.
'iCCxi PAYS YOU: S100 weekly
($14.28 daily) extr* cash when you ere hospi-
talized. $50 weekly ($7.14 daily) for each eligi-
ble child hospitalized.

dren, we suggest the One-Parent Family Plan. This
plan has been tailored to help meet your particular
needs. It covers you and all unmarried children liv-
ing at home between 3 months of age and under 21.
Under this plan, of course, future additions are not
included since no maternity benefit is provided in
the One-Parent Family Plan.

($14.28 daily) extra cesh
when you are hospitalized. $75 weekly ($10.71
daily) when your wife it hospitalized.

Whichever plan you choose, you get:
50% INCREASE IN YOUR CASH BENE-X
FITS...it you or any member of your family is I
hospitalized for cancer (including Leukemia and
Hodgkin's Disease), heart attack (acute myocardial |

band-Wife Plan, you get in addition:
DOUBLE CASH BENEFITS if both you and
your wife are injured and hospitalized at the same
time: You get twice the amount-%350 A WEEK!
Important: Here is another real "plus"-if you
have been told that anyone in your family is “un- L
insurable"! Even if one of your covered family!
members has suffered from chronic ailments in the I
past-ailments that come back again and again, or I
are likely to recur—you will h* covered for these |
pre-existing conditions after your poliey has been
in force for two years!

get your first month for only $1.00!
Ertt* Cash Protection
At Surprisingly Low Cost
How can a hospital plan offer so much for so little?
The answer is simple: Wo have lower total sales
costs. The Doctors Hospital Plan is a mass enroll-
ment plan. All business is conducted between you
and the company by maiL No salesmen or investi-
gators are used. It all adds up to real savings we
share with you by giving you high quality protection
at low cost.
Doctors Hospital Plan you can avoid these worries
because you can be assured of extra cash income
when you or any covered member of your family
goes to the hospital. No matter how large your fam-
ily, no matter what your age or occupation and with-
out any qualifications whatsoever, you can choose
any of the four low-cost plans shown at right to meet
your family's special needs.
In addition to the "extra cash” hospital benefits,
you get all these valuable "extra” features:
Offered Bv Physicians Mutual
•The Doctors Company":

reputation of the Physicians Mutual Insurance Com-
pany, "the doctors company,” specializing in health
and accident protection for physicians, surgeons and

Reports, one of the leading insurance industry au-
thorities in the nation, gives Physicians Mutual
its highest policyholders’ rating of “A Plus (Excel-
lent)." Serving hundreds of thousands of policy-
holders throughout the United States direct by mail,
Physicians Mutual has its headquarters in Omaha,
Nebraska, and is licensed and incorporated in that
On all plans, your "extra cash" benefits are paid
from the very first day you enter the hospital, for as
long-and for as many times-as you are hospital-
ized, right up to the maximum (Aggregate of Bene-
fits) of the plan you select.
Naturally. The Doctors Hospital Plan will cover
any new accident or sickness. Accidents are covered
immediately. After your policy is 30 dsys old, you
are covered for sicknesses which begin thereafter.

choice that makes a charge for room and board, with
these exceptions only: nursing homes, convalescent

pital expenses it will not cover all of your needs. |

ca-h protection needed during the high-risk senior
sears without any qualifications just by using th*
form heloss!
It’s a fact that people over 65 go to hospitals more
often and have larger hospital bills. Thai's exactly
why they need extra cash protection! And that’s why
some hospital plans won't accept them or charge
rates beyond their means. But T he Doctors Hospital
Plan not only accepts you regardless of age, it gives
sou easy-to-carry protection that is within your
means. If you are over 65 now, or when you become
