Ford vetoes Public Health Service Act amendments
President Ford vetoes a bill amending the Public Health Service Act to boost health services, nurse training, and the National Health Service Corps, citing a $1.1 billion higher cost over two years and risk of inflating the federal deficit. He argues the provisions are duplicative and excessive amid deficits and urges Congress to avoid permanent inflationary spending. The veto cites nurse shortages and education aid programs as context.
