    Thanks. Yeah, I didn’t want to come off as a know it all umm actually guy so I figured I could be wrong and just ask for a source.

    I had done my own search too but again, everyone is fallible so better to just ask.

    Also I know it means nothing from some rando on the interwebs but good on ya for correcting yourself. In today’s age and all that…hope you’re as well as you can be. Take care! (Goes to look further into Truman’s war criminal ass lol)

    Edit: it appears Truman actually tried to make a national health insurance act happen and was defeated by anti-communist sentiments, the American Medical Association, and republicans fear mongering and “they’re gonna raise your taxes!!!” rhetoric. It would have been a part of the social security expansion but alas, congress is corrupt and Americans are gullible (being generous).
