secondly, no compulsory plan we
know of will maintain the same
quality of hospital service as the

He added that the United States
is pre-eminent in the hospital field
and that pre-eminence has come
through the voluntary hospital
plan"
He said that if the Government
wanted to spend money it could
spend it by paving the hospital costs
of needy, people who had to 60 to

could be spent on equipment and
construction for hospitals in those
areas where it is needed"
