Republicans in the 1970s were on the side of healthcare for all Americans. In a message to Congress on Feb. 18, 1971, Nixon himself proposed the National Health Insurance Partnership Act.
Like today's Democrats, however, Nixon sought help for small businesses and sole proprietors to pay for affordable health insurance. Health care is among the top domestic issues in the 2008 presidential campaign in both parties. Three decades after the failed Nixon plan, the same drivers of debate are at play. A growing number of Americans â 47 million â are uninsured. Medical costs continue to outpace inflation, albeit not nearly as fast as they did in Nixon's day.
