“The time has arrived for action.”

That was President Truman’s call to Congress on this day in 1945. His
proposal: a universal national health care program.

“Millions of our citizens do not now have a full measure of opportunity to
achieve and enjoy good health,” Truman said. “Millions do not now have
protection or security against the economic effects of sickness.”

The same is true today.

The astronomical cost of health care leaves 28 million uninsured, 44
million underinsured, and half a million bankrupt. An estimated 35,000
Americans die each year because they can’t afford to see a doctor.

Harry Truman was right. It’s time for action.

“We are a rich nation and can afford many things,” President Truman said.
“But ill health which can be prevented or cured is one thing we cannot
afford.”

Most Americans agree. So what stands in our way?

The same scare tactics Truman faced 74 years ago: cries of socialism,
totalitarianism, the “Moscow party line.” One group branded Truman’s plan
“as un-American as the Gestapo.”

We expect such attacks from the right wing. What’s more disturbing is to
hear even some Democrats echo the opposition.

One of the Democratic candidates in this race compared progressive
priorities like Medicare for All to the “discredited ideas of Karl Marx
and Joseph Stalin.” That’s outrageous.

“Is it un-American to visit the sick, aid the afflicted, or comfort the
dying?” President Truman asked. Of course not.
