Health security plan proposed to replace Medicare and Medicaid
A Citizens' Committee for National Health Service urged a nationwide health security program funded through federal taxes and employer employee contributions. It would cover doctors services hospital care nursing home psychiatric treatment drugs and eventually dental care for all. The plan mirrors Social Security financing and administration and aims to provide equitable access to care for millions who now go without or receive poor care. The committee led by Leonard Woodcock cites the insecurity of current health affairs and envisions gradual, non governmental operation of hospitals and health professionals. First Flag Raising The first recorded raising of a flag over a school occurred at Catamount Hill Corrain Massachusetts in May 1812.
