Hickenlooper opposes Murray Wagner health bills socialized medicine
U S Senator Bourke B Hickenlooper told the Iowa State Medical Society convention in Des Moines that the Murray Wagner health bills would lead to socialized medicine.

He noted the VA needs 4 000 doctors though it has 2 912 and urged doctors to join the VA. Malaria diagnoses in Iowa were discussed as returned veterans are a rising infection reservoir.
