Nixon Seeks Lifting of Most Wage and Price Controls
The Nixon administration asked Congress to end mandatory wage and price controls after April 90 excluding health and petroleum sectors. If approved, most of the U.S. economy would operate without controls for the first time since August 1971. The plan envisions a Cost of Living Council evolving into an umbrella agency to monitor inflation and coordinate federal and local efforts, with continued controls only where Congress permits.

Nixon proposes comprehensive health plan with $1.50 cap
President Nixon asks Congress to approve a three part national health insurance plan to begin in 1976. He says the CHIP would ensure no American pays more than 1.50 annually in medical costs and would extend insurance to all, with total federal and state costs about 4.9 billion. State governments would absorb roughly 1 billion. The plan includes employer health insurance and other components as a counterproposal to Kennedy’s broader reform.
