U.S. Has Contingency Plans for a Draft of Medical Workers

 <snip>
In a confidential report this summer, a contractor hired
by the agency described how such a draft might work, how
to secure compliance and how to mold public opinion and
communicate with health care professionals, whose lives
could be disrupted.

On the one hand, the report said, the Selective Service
System should establish contacts in advance with medical
societies, hospitals, schools of medicine and nursing,
managed care organizations, rural health care providers
and the editors of medical journals and trade
publications.

On the other hand, it said, such contacts must be
limited, low key and discreet because "overtures from
Selective Service to the medical community will be seen
as precursors to a draft," and that could alarm the
public.
