NEXT DOOR? RUNNING AMERICA U the joint job of 150,000,000people. It* 8 the biggest job in the world today —keeping it running for liberty and for freedom. And the whole world* s watching to see whether Americans can do it! IN MUCH OF THE WORLD today, the people have resigned from running their own countries. Others have been quick to step in—first with promises of “security**—and then with whips and guns—to run things their way. The evidence is on every front page in the world, ei^ry day. FREEDOM COMES UNDER ATTACK. The reality of war has made every American think hard about the things he’s willing to work and fight for—and freedom leads the list. But that freedom has been attacked here recently—just as it has been attacked in other parts of the world. One of the most serious threats to individual freedom has the threat of Government-dominated Compulsory surance, falsely presented as a new guarantee "security" for«veryb0^r.v^ »LE WEIGH THE FACTS. In the American manner, the people studied the case for Socialized Medicine—and the case against it. They found that Government domination of the people’s medical affairs under Compulsory Health Insurance means lower standards of medical care, higher payroll taxes, loss of incentive, damage to research, penalties for the provident, rewards for the improvident. They found that no country on earth can surpass Amer ica's leadership in medical care and progress. They found that able doctors, teachers, nurses and scientists —working in laboratories where Science, not Politics, is mfuiter-are blazing dramatic new trails to health for Americans—and for the world. THE "GRASS ROOTS" SIGNALS CONGRESS. In every com inuhlty ill the Natibll, people Stood Up to be counted on this im poff&flt issue. Tfi6ii$dflds Of local women's clubs, civic groups, farm, business, religious, taxpayer, medical, educational and patriotic organ izations spoke out—giving the great United States Congress its unmistakable Grass Roots signal from home! And ever watchful, ever sensitive to an alert people, The Congress saw that signal, and heard the people speak out, loud and plain. That's democracy in action. That's the American way! Today among the 10,000 great organizations on militant public record against "Compulsory Health Insurance” are: General Federation of Women's Clubs American Farm Bureau Federation National Grange Veterans of Foreign Wars National Conference of Catholic Charities American Protestant Hospital Association American Legion National Association of Small Business Men United States Chamber of Commerce National Association of Retail Grocers National Retail Dry Goods Association American Bar Association • Doctors of this Nation are grateful that the people refused to be wooed by the fantastic promises of this un-American excursion into State Socialism. • Doctors of America are dedicated to serve their fellow citizens at home and their comrades in uniform, wherever serv ice to this Nation may take them, e And the thing they stand ready to fight for—to sacrifice for—to die for—is not the alien way of life of Socialism, but the prideful security of a free and se..-reliant people! THE VOLUNTARY WAY IS THE AMERICAN WAY! • Throughout the Nation, free men and women, working and planning together, are finding the American answer to every question of medical service, care and cost. Hundreds of Voluntary Health Insurance Plans are in healthy competition—sponsored by doctors, insurance companies, hos pitals, fraternal organizations—by industry, agriculture and labor. • Today in America—70 million people are protected by Voluntary Health Insur ance! • Throughout »the Nation, families are insuring themselves against the major costs of illness—at reasonable, budget-basis prices. Voluntary Health Insurance takes the economic shock out of illness. Protect your family now. • For information, ask your doaor—or your insurance man. PHYSICIANS OF An American’s greatest heritage is the right to learn the facta—and to speak his mind. Maintained with honor and used with sincerity—that right will guarantee forever that PARTICIPATED IN FAYING FOR THIS SPACE . cam,,a,gn
