Health bill patience limited for early action
Washington April 18 One of President Truman's top health policy leaders indicated only a slim chance Congress will finish action this session on a national health program. Senator Thomas warned there isn’t enough time to craft a bill properly and pass it this summer. He expects a comprehensive plan from Truman this week including compulsory government health insurance but says hearings will delay final passage. Opposition persists among Republicans and Catholic groups warning against compulsory government insurance.
