Description

The Welfare and Retirement Fund of the United Mine Workers of America (UMWA) is widely acknowledged as one of the most innovative efforts at group healthcare in the USA in the 20th century. The author of this text describes the establishment, operation and demise of the fund that brought mining families from the backwater to the forefront of medical care in less than a decade. The UMWA was one of the first unions to take advantage of conditions created by World War II to bargain for employer-financed health benefits. Spurning convention, the UMWA not only retained control of health benefits, but also utilized then unorthodox managed-care principles in arranging care for its members. Perhaps most unusual, the union designed the fund to care for a beneficiary group with extremely high demands. Initially poor and neglected, miners were encumbered by the additional health burdens of a hazardous industry. Krajcinovic analyzes the success of the fund over nearly three decades in providing high-quality cost-effective care to miners and their families. She also explains the irony of its dismantlement at the very moment when its innovations gained currency among mainstream commercial plans.
