HEALTHY, WEALTHY
AMD ^
America is the healthiest great
Nation in the world. Americans
live more abundantly than any » /
people in the world /
Not because somebody passed a law. But because the founding
fathers were WISE. Because they turned away from depend
ence on Government. Because they believed that real security
is based, on individual initiative.
Americans today believe that, too. That is why America is the
symbol of,human Freedom . . . the bulwark of world liberty!
The strength of America is the product of creative, free initia
tive. America’s health is the best in the world. A free medical
profession will keep it so.
Freely, without compulsion, over 70 million Americans have
secured the best medical care in the world, through Voluntary
Health Insurance, prepaying the major costs of illness.
The price is low—the care is the best. Your program for
your family can be tailored to fit your needs and budget,

ourselves-
America-
most Americans are capable of paying their
own bills, planning their own budgets and mapping
their own futures.
most Americans resent having politicians
or bureaucrats tell them they need, where to
get it and how to pay for it.
most Americans prefer to solve their problems
—medical or otherwise—by means of self-reliance, free
choice and voluntary methods.
most Americans will work and fight to pre
serve freedom, both at home and abroad.
The menace from abroad is Communist tyranny*
The menace at home is creeping Socialism.
