...President Nixon's health care proposals seem a little more sane than those of Senator Kennedy. If we must have some form of subsidized medicine [March 1], a $3 billion outlay seems quite preferable to the Senator's $50 billion proposal.

The nation spent about $14.2 billion on welfare last year, more than twice the outlay of only five years ago. Yet the 13.5 million Americans?6.3% of the population?who received that aid are only half the estimated number of the needy and eligible. Increased by the recession and the growing activism of welfare rights groups, the rolls continue to grow in every part of the country. After 35 years of legislation and programs, the world's wealthiest nation seems caught...
