Healthcare, Social Security & Socialized Medicine (1951)Trailer: In this episode of the Longines Chronoscope, Oscar R. Ewing, Federal Security Administrator, discusses the issue of adding hospital benefits to the existing Social Security program at a cost of 200 million per year. Hazlit calls this issue one of great controversy, since many in the American public don’t approve of the possibility of adding more expenditure to the federal budget, especially since they were already embroiled in the Korean War and the Cold War with the Soviet Union. He cites that the social reasons for the program outweigh any potential costs anyway, since 7 million sick or infirm men, widow, and children would be protected by these benefits. Hazlit also worries about the potential future insolvency of the program, citing that a deficit is expected for the program in the future, calling to mind our present Social Security insolvency issues.
