The coverage of the Social Security Act has been broadened since 1953 to make 11 million additional people eligible for retirement, disability or survivor benefits for themselves or their dependents, and the Social Security benefits have been substantially improved. Grants to the States for maternal and child welfare services have been increased.
We can work to help workers who lose their jobs at least keep their health insurance coverage for a year while they look for work, and we can find a way it may take some time, but we can find a way to make sure that our children have health care.
You want coverage, don't you? The more publicity you get, the easier your own job's going to be." Then I introduced Tom, carefully giving the impression that while I handled all ordinary assignments, I needed help to give him the full VIP treatment. We went over to a quiet corner and sat down, and the interview started. The camera case I was carrying was a snare and a deceit.
Social security coverage for veterans for their period of military service as recommended by me on September 6, 1945. Extension of crop insurance as recommended by me on September 6, 1945. Legislation permitting the sale of ships by the Maritime Commission at home and abroad as recommended by me on September 6, 1945.
My budget includes a comprehensive plan to reform Medicare, to make it more efficient and competitive.

Lifesaving drugs are an indispensable part of modern medicine.
That test has proved the wisdom of the system, but it has also made strikingly apparent the need for improving its operation and increasing its coverage and its benefits. In the field of health there are immense opportunities to extend to more of our people the benefits of the amazing advances in medical science.
The cost of health care shows up not only in your family budget, but in the price of everything we buy and everything we sell. When health coverage for a fellow on the assembly line costs thousands of dollars, the cost goes into the product he makes. And you pay the bill. Now we must make a choice. Now some pretend we can have it both ways: they call it play or pay.
No one creating a Medicare program today would even consider excluding coverage for prescription drugs. Yet more than three in five seniors now lack dependable drug coverage which can lengthen and enrich their lives. Millions of older Americans who need prescription drugs the most pay the highest prices for them.
Because Congress has given me the authority to act if it does not do so by August, one way or another, we can all say to the American people, we will protect the privacy of medical records this year. Now, two years ago, we acted to extend health coverage to up to five million children. Now we should go beyond that. We should make it easier for small businesses to offer health insurance.
It means every night millions of well-insured Americans go to bed just an illness, an accident, or a pink slip away from having no coverage or financial ruin. It means every morning millions of Americans go to work without any health insurance at all something the workers in no other advanced country in the world do.
