This document is a digest of a paper presented at a meeting of the American Public Health Association. It discusses the program under which more than 100,000 low-income farm families, borrowers from the Farm Security Administration, obtain medical care out of an economic necessity. The author says the program is a by-product of a depression-born loan program for farm families unable to obtain credit elsewhere. The paper also discusses the factors which created the program and its organization and method.
