West Virginia doctor clashes with Eisenhower on inflation
A West Virginia physician challenges President Eisenhower’s call for doctors to charge reasonable fees to curb inflation. He argues rising medical costs reflect broader price increases, cites 108.6 percent living-cost rise since 1939, and blames crime and labor rackets for wage inflation. He notes doctors’ fees up 84 percent while medical care rose 106.1 percent. Also mentions Oswald West’s 86th birthday remarks on inflation and education concerns in Oregon.
