SEE PHOTO----- Two (2) COMPLETE, ORIGINAL NEWSPAPERs, the New York Times dated Oct 26 and 28, 1938. These two newspapers contain prominent back page headings and long reports of the proposal by the FRANKLIN D ROOSEVELT Administration under the NEW DEAL of NATIONAL HEALTH INSURANCE. Nice coverage of the first proposal for National Health Insurance under the NEW DEAL by the Roosevelt Administration. FDR’s first attempt at National Health Insurance — failure to include in the Social Security Bill of 1935 Franklin D. Roosevelt's tenure (1933-1945) was characterized by WWI, the Great Depression, and the New Deal, including the Social Security Bill. One might have thought the Great Depression would create the perfect conditions for passing compulsory health insurance in the US, but with millions out of work, unemployment insurance took priority followed by old age benefits. FDR’s Committee on Economic Security, the CES, feared that inclusion of health insurance in its bill, which was opposed by the AMA, would threaten the passage of the entire Social Security legislation. It was therefore excluded. FDR’s second attempt — Wagner Bill, National Health Act of 1939 But there was one more push for national health insurance during FDR’s administration: The Wagner National Health Act of 1939. Though it never received FDR’s full support, the proposal grew out of his Tactical Committee on Medical Care, established in 1937. The essential elements of the technical committee’s reports were incorporated into Senator Wagner’s bill, the National Health Act of 1939, which gave general support for a national health program to be funded by federal grants to states and administered by states and localities. However, the 1938 election brought a conservative resurgence and any further innovations in social policy were extremely difficult. Most of the social policy legislation precedes 1938. Just as the AALL campaign ran into the declining forces of progressivism and then WWI, the movement for national health insurance in the 1930’s ran into the declining fortunes of the New Deal and then WWII.
