UAW pushes national health plan amid doctors opposition
United Auto Workers leaders urged Congress to pass a national health insurance plan while the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons warned against compulsory medicine. Leonard Woodcock blamed the rising costs on a failing system and lack of access, while Dr. R Lowell Campbell warned that universal plans could bankrupt New York and the nation. In a separate Nassau County case, Eddie M Lewis was ordered to stand trial for murder, and the death of Mary Jane Dahl prompted probes into respirator care at Nassau Hospital.
