“I personally think it would be one of the worst things this country could do” Governor Reagan strongly rejects a proposed change in health care

TLS signed “Ron,” one page, 7.25 x 10.5, State of California letterhead, March 10, 1970. Letter to Charles Broska, Vice President of the Security Pacific National bank. In part: “You are completely right about the threat of this increased medical plan. Some spokesmen for organized labor have openly boasted they expect to get virtually what England has by 1975. I personally think it would be one of the worst things this country could do and that our course, if anything, should be directly in reverse.” In fine condition, with a couple light horizontal creases around signature, small stamp to lower right corner, and staple to top left. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope stapled to the letter. A strong response to the idea of socialized medicine, one that Jimmy Carter would attempt to capitalize on during the 1980 presidential campaign. RRAuction COA.
