Nixon outlines national health care plan proposal
President Nixon proposes a national health care scheme in a special message to Congress. Employers would provide low cost insurance, while the federal government would cover most costs for the poor and those earning less than a threshold. The plan aims to insure nearly all Americans, reduce Medicaid, and cap outlays with a $50,000 catastrophic limit for individuals.
