AMA President Rejects Kennedy Claim on Social Security Stance
Dr. Leonard W. Larson of the American Medical Association says the King-Anderson bill is on trial not the AMA. He denies Kennedy's May 23 claim that the AMA opposed Social Security in the 1930s and argues the bill would be compulsory inequitable and foster government control of medicine while taxing workers to aid those able to pay.
