needed a minor operation so you Imagine he would use the plan for himself He did not He ne wanted to choose his hospital pick his hIli surgeon and pay for the 1 I privilege from his own pocket To get votes from the masses Mr Bevin figured socialized medicine would appeal since so many want to get something for nothing so they think But Dut when It t came to letting the government choose the
