Carter pushes health insurance plan amid expected Congress delay
President Carter said Congress is unlikely to act this year on several of his submitted programs but he moved ahead with preparations for a national health insurance plan. He planned a meeting with advocates for comprehensive coverage while signaling tax and welfare reform would be proposed before October but likely not acted on this year.
