A Poor Deal President Truman's so-called "Fair Deal" in health has stirred up a bitter controversy in Congress. The health question, right now, is political dynamite. There are 190,000 doctors in our country. The President has said the present system of caring for the public should include everyone in the Social Security program and their dependents. That would mean raising the present coverage from 85,000,000 under our present system to about 120,000,000 if the Truman plan becomes a law. And where is the money coming from? The system would be financed by an additional payroll tax of 1½ per cent on employers and 1½ per cent on the employees. In addition the Government would put up ½ of 1 per cent of payrolls the first year and 1 per cent subsequently. In this queer way everybody and nobody would be entitled to complete medical, surgical, dental and hospital care. The Government would back this plan which led States. There are other Poor Deal proposals in the Senate and House to cut down the costs of revised schemes to keep Tom, Dick and Harry and their wives, children and in-laws bristling about health. If you asked most writers and correspondents in Washington what they think about the probability of Federal sponsorship and control of the Nation's medical system, the answer would be: "It's all hooey!" The Daughters of the American Revolution in their recent annual meeting in Washington denounced it as "legislation designed to create state medical care; which could result in a socialistic state." The Daughters called attention to the fact that Mr. Truman suggested "regular contributions to an insurance fund that would replace irregular, often overwhelming family outlays for medical care." Presidential Pranks Some of the metropolitan papers have been entertained with higher than roof-tops—and gold in the world isn't enough to meet the costs of U.S. government operations for a year. Dependable reporters have sharpened pencils and told us that the Federal government plans to spend more $45,000,000,000 in the coming year. That takes more gold has been mined in 456 years. There is a problem to solve it if you can! "Fair Deal" in Name Of The present labor laws been under bitter attack by bers of the Democratic party Washington for a long, long time. The President "took over" labor bosses in the election they all stood shoulder to shoulder for the repeal of the Hartley Act. Despite that fair President and the courts national capitol stopped some strikes, including a big one at the railroads. John L. Lewis bad "punches" by able judge. The administration and C.C. have given up their threat to vive the fossilized Wagner era. At present several Senators Representatives have boosted schemes for revision of the Hartley Act. One of the great abominations of the Democrats change the title in any way would hide the fact that a Republican child. Congress Wood and Lesinski have faced new bills. It would smell to the Democrats if they call their law "Lesinski." The fly in the ointment in the fact that there are be 50 and 70 Representatives in Congress who believe that the Hartley Act is the best label that the United States has passed. Most of them helped President Truman's two vet the 80th Congress. And where is the money coming from? The system would be financed by an additional payroll tax of 1½ per cent on employers and 1½ per cent on the employees. In addition the Government would put up ½ of 1 per cent of payrolls the first year and 1 per cent subsequently. In this queer way everybody and nobody would be entitled to complete medical, surgical, dental and hospital care. The Government would back this plan which would foot up to more than six and one-half billion dollars a year. The American Medical Association disagrees, and insists that it would cost up to eighteen billion dollars a year, or ten billion more, to carry on this "pure socialistic" remedy and hamper medical progress. Franklin Delano Roosevelt was stingy with public money if you compare him with President Harry Truman who goes ahead with a fantastic scheme that upsets the entire medical system in the Unit- Presidential Pranks Some of the metropolitan papers have been criticizing the President for claiming that he "has reserve authority that he can use whenever he may see the need to exercise it." Trouble is: The more Presidents we get the more authority they assume. After all, foreign rulers who didn't keep the truce that they had agreed upon.
