Abstract
As our provisions for economic security expand to cover more risks and more people, the American social security system grows increasingly complex. Much has been written on the relationships--actual and theoretical--between public and private pension programs, but only scanty information is available on the relationships between private health, welfare, and pension plans and our oldest social security program, workmen's compensation insurance. There are good reasons for this lack of information. Workmen's compensation has well-developed traditions of separatism. It functions under the aegis and direction of insurance companies, physicians, and attorneys. Until recently, compensation issues have received limited consideration from economists, political scientists, and industrial relations specialists. This paper, therefore, proposes to do two things: (1) It will describe and analyze some of the private plan provisions which are supplementing, duplicating, or perhaps undercutting state workmen's compensation plans and benefits. (2) It will discuss the implications these private provisions may have for the future of workmen's compensation. (Author's abstract courtesy EBSCO.)
