Scope & Contents
In 1956, UAW President Walter Reuther enlisted community support for a prepaid group medical practice approach to health care. The purchase of Metropolitan Hospital on Detroit’s west side was the first major step taken to start the plan. The plan was received with great skepticism by many Detroit area physicians, who considered the new approach “socialized medicine,” but the controversy ended in 1959, when the American Medical Association dropped its longstanding ban against prepaid group medical plans. Community Health Association (CHA), Michigan’s first official prepaid health care program based on preventive medicine, opened in December of 1960. In 1972, Blue Cross Blue Shield acquired CHA and renamed it Metro Health Plan; a few years later, Henry Ford Hospital, Metropolitan Hospital and Health Centers and Metro Health Plan, Inc. merged to become Health Alliance Plan, currently Michigan’s largest HMO.
The UAW Social Security Department: Community Health Association Collection contains minutes, correspondence and reports pertaining to the founding and development of Detroit’s first health maintenance organization.
