Truman Defends Health Plan Against Pullback Critics
President Truman told a Philadelphia luncheon that opponents of national health insurance are “pullbacks” who want to return to the horse and buggy era. He argued for a broadly funded program to provide affordable medical care, saying some critics would keep government out of health except for local indigent care. Governor Adlai Stevenson backs the administration’s health efforts, while Eisenhower’s calls for locally administered indigent care drew Truman’s rebuke.
