Harry Truman actually said...

"Our public health services--federal, state and local--provide our greatest and most successful defense against preventable diseases."

"A national health insurance program is a logical extension of the present social-security system which is so firmly entrenched in our American democracy."

"Healthy citizens constitute our greatest national resource."

"The unequal distribution of doctors and hospitals will plague this nation until means are found to finance modern medical care for all of our people."
