is the joint job of 150,000,000 people. It’s the biggest job in the world today
—keeping it running for liberty and fur freedom. And the whole world’s watching to see
whether Americans can do it!
RUNNING AMERICA
today, the people have resigned from running their own countries.
Others have been quick to step in—first with promises of “security”—and then with whips
and guns—to run things their way. The evidence is on every front page in the world, every day.'.
IN much OF THE WORLD
FREEDOM COMES UNDEH ATTACK. The reality of war has
made every American think hard about the things he’s w illing to work
and fight for—and freedom leads the list.
But that freedom has been attacked here recently—lust
as it has been attacked in other parts of the world. One
of the most serious threats to individual freedom has
been the threat of Government-dominated Compulsory
Health Insurance, falsely preserved as a new guarantee
of health "security" for everybody.
THE PEOPLE WEIGH THE FACTS. In the American manner, the
people* studied the case lor Socialized Medicine—and the case against it.
'They found that Government domination of the people’s medical
affairs under Compulsory Health Insurance means lower standards
of medical care, higher payroll taxes, loss of incentive, damage to
research, penalties for the provident, rewards for the improvident.
They found that no country on earth can surpass Amer­
ica's leadership in medical care ar.d progress. They
found that able doctors, teachers, nurses and scientists
—working in laboratories where Science, not Politics, is
master—are blazing dramatic new frails to health for
Americans—and for the world.
THE "GRASS ROOTS" SIGNALS CONGRESS. In every com­
munity in the Nation, people stood up to be counted on this im-
]x>rtant issue. Thousands of local women’s clubs, civic groups, farm,
business, religious, taxpayer, medkal, educational and patriotic organ­
izations spoke out—giving the great United States Congress its
unmistakable Grass Roots signa! from home!
And ever watchful, ever sensitive to an alert people.
The Congress saw that signal, and heard the people
speak out, loud and plain. Thai's democracy in action.
1 hat's ihe American way!
Today among the 10,000 great organizations on militant public •
record against "Compulsory Health Insurance” are:

Women's Clubs

• Doctors of this Nation are grateful that the people
refused to be wooed by the fantastic promises of this
un-American excursion into State Socialism. • Doctors
of America are dedicated to serve their fellow citizens
at home and their comrades in uniform, wherever serv­
ice to this Nation may take them, o And the thing they
stand ready to fight for-to sacrifice for-to die for-is
not the alien way of life of Socialism, but the prideful
security of a free and self-reliant people!
THS VOLUNTARY WAY IS THE AMERICAN WAY!
• Throughout the Nation, free men and women, working and planning
together, arc finding the American answer to every question of medical
service, care and cost. Hundreds of Voluntary Health Insurance Plans are
in healthy competition sponsored by doctors, insurance companies, hos­
pitals, fraternal organizations- by industry, agriculture and labor. • 'Today
in America—70 million people are protected by Voluntary Health Insur­
ance! • Throughout the Nation, families are insuring themselves against
the major costs of illness—at reasonable, budget-basis prices. Voluntary
Health Insurance takes the economic shock out of illness. Protect your
family now. • For information, ask your doctor—or your insurance man.
American's greatest heritage is the right to learn the facts—and to speak his mind.
Maintained with honor and used with sincerity—that right will guarantee forever that
