Eisenhower proposes government re insurance for private plans
President Eisenhower urged Congress to start a government re insurance system with 25 million dollars to support private health plans and cover extraordinary costs. He outlined a five year program to rehabilitate 660,000 disabled people and expand medical care facilities while stressing continued private care and a rejection of socialized medicine. The address also called for simplified state grants and a stronger public health framework. Local health access should not depend on location, occupation, or wealth. Private voluntary plans should broaden coverage, with hospitalization insurance already funding about 40 percent of private hospital costs.
