Excerpt from The National Insurance Bill: With an Introduction and Notes The long expected and much talked of Sickness Insurance Bill has at last, after numerous postponements, been introduced into the House of Commons, and I do not think it is overstating the case to say that the principle of State-help to insurance contained in the Bill has been warmly approved and welcomed by all parties in the State. Unionists as well as Radicals have vied with each other in their welcome and appreciation of this principle of the measure, and it is on points of detail and administration that criticism has been directed. The Bill is divided into two - parts the first dealing I with sickness under the comprehensive name of "National Health Insurance," and the second with "Unemployment Insurance."
