National Health Insurance debate narrows to two paths
Washington talks of universal federal coverage funded by taxes or a voluntary plan built on private insurance with government subsidies for the poor. The Nixon administration backs voluntary coverage while Kennedy pushes universal coverage with a mixed funding mix and a health security board to oversee payments and facilities. Both proposals promise expanded training for doctors, nurses, and allied health staff.
