Labor and Farmers Endorse Health Plan;
Cruikshank Endsorse Practical Approach
Washington. — Spokesmen for
organized labor and the nation’s
farmers joined forces in suppoft
of President Truman’s health pro
gram to mke available enough
medical services to go around
and to see that everybody has a
chance to obtain these services.
Appearing with Representative
Andrew J. Biemiller of Wisconsin
on a radio broadcast over the
Mutual Broadcasting System net
work arranged by the Democratic i
National Committee were Nelson
H. Cruikshank, the AFL’s director (
of social insurance activities, and
James Patton, president of the
National Farmers’ Union.
Summing up the advantages of j
the Truman plan. Mr. Cruiqshank
praised it as the most practical
program which has ever been
presented to meet the health neetfs
of the nation.” He said:
“It is practical first because it
is designed to take in nearly
everybody. This is sound insur- |
ance principle.
“The real issue is not, as op
ponents have tried to describe it,1
an issue between a compulsory
and a voluntary program. The j
issue is between a public and in
clusive program as opposed to;

private and selective program.
Twenty years of experience in
this country have shown that the
private plans can never meet the
Today only about {,500,000 people
in the United States have the
complete protection that will be
provided when the President’s
program is adopted.
“Secondly, it is practical be
cause it meets the whole health
problem. The opponents of pub
lic health insurance have said
that it represents a fine ideal but
it cannot be put into operation
in this country because we do not
have enough health feilities—lo
cal hea'th centers and hospitals
and we do not have enough doc
tors, nursse, dentists and other
trained personnel needed to sup
ply the needs. The President’s
program takes these needs into
account. It calls for aid to the
medical schools, and also calls for
increased aid for the construc
tion of hospital and other facil
ities where needed.
"The program also calls for an
increase in the amount of federal
grants for public health services
both legal and national.
“The President’s program is a
typical' American program as it
relies on the principle of mutual
self help. We have proved the
soundness of this approach in
other social insurances such as
our federal old-age and survivors
insurance, workmen’s compensa
tion and unemployment insur
ance.”
Mr. Patton ridiculed the charge*
that the President's health pro
gram is '‘socialistic” or that it
will encourage “political medical
practice.” and declared:
“Speaking as a representative
of farmers, I say that the adop
tion of the kind of large-scale
health program for which the
President has asked would be one
of the greatest boon to farmers
in all of their history.”
Concluding the broadcast, Rep
resentative Biemillerv summed up
the many advantages for the na
tion which would flow from adop
tion of the Truman plan. He
said: -
“A nation is no better or more
efficient than the health of its
citizens. Simply because we are
right now one of the healthiest
nuations in the world, is no reason
for us to be blind to our short
comings and the necessity for so
cial progress.
“We have woeful inadequacies
gnd startling inequalities in our
social security and general wel
fare and heatlh standards and
facilities. To be sure, we have
made great progress during the
last 17 years of Democratic ad
ministrations. But “Some”
progress is not enough for Amer
icans.
“The introduction of the Na
tional Health bill into the Con
gress is another step along the
road of progress toward more
doctors, more medical researchers
and technicians; more hospitals
and better distribution of medical
centers; a step toward complete
health insurance coverage for all.
In other words, the goal is com
plete health and medical facilities
for all the people.”
WRONG TIME FOR NAM TO
L ASK FTC INVESTIGATION
Organized labor's old enemy —
the National Association of Manu
facturers — asks Congress to make
“an immediate and intensive in
vestigation’’ of the Federal Trade
Commission.
The N. A. M. is shooting in the
wrong direction in its attack on
the F. T. C. It’s one government
organization which is doing a
great job.
If the time ever comes when the
N. A. M. praises and defends the
F. T. C. that’s when Congress
should investigate the commission.
