Acute, curative, technology-dependent medicine reached its apogee in the 1960s-and, as expectations rose, so did the costs. The expense of medical care had reached a critical stage with the Depression of 1929-32, when individuals found it increasingly difficult to pay their medical bills. The private sector in the 1930s developed the Blue Cross-Blue Shield insurance system of prepayment for hospitals and physicians. In the public sector, the Social Security mechanism and general tax revenues were used to pay the costs of the indigent sick, the disabled, the elderly and such special groups as veterans, migrant farmers...
...solution to unemployment and no return to prosperity on which the realization of private and public goals depends. The government has had a consistent strategy to achieve these objectives. The main elements of this strategy have been to bring government spending under control; to free resources to the private sector and to individuals; to pursue a responsible monetary policy with clearly announced goals, and to generate a climate of national responsibility in which wage and salary restraint will be possible and in which both business and unions will act with a principal regard for the national interest...

I also think that we could take the present expenditures on unemployment, welfare and job-training programs and design them much more comprehensively to create jobs in the public sector. We now have about 1.3 million people who are fully able to work but are drawing welfare on a permanent basis. I would like to give them job training and literacy instruction and get them job offers. If they don't take them, I wouldn...
...wage gains--by Portugese workers. But most Western capital, particularly American loans and credit channelled through the World Bank and other agencies, has strings attached: the 'stabilization' of the nation, meaning an end to strikes, enforced wage cuts, and higher prices making revenues for a revived private industrial sector. Aid under such terms would destroy any hope for Portugese socialism, while workers would be recalcitrant and possibly violent if sacrifices were forced on them in the name of U.S. and other capitalist nations' investment policies...
