"I recommend the establishment of a limited Federal reinsurance service to encourage private and non-profit health insurance organizations to offer broader health protection to more families."

"Among the concerns of our government for the human problems of our citizens, the subject of health ranks high."

"The best way for most of our people to provide themselves the resources to obtain good medical care is to participate in voluntary health insurance plans."

"The nation is faced with basic issues that must be resolved in every one of the areas that you have selected for study."
