Health Insurance Debate Under Nixon

Health Insurance Debate Under Nixon In 1971, President Nixon proposed a national health insurance plan built on heavily employer private coverage. Senator Ted Kennedy proposed what would today be called a single-payer plan. In 1974, the debate had morphed into Nixon vs. Kennedy-Mills vs. Organized labor. Despite the prediction in the second clip shown, the result was stalemate rather than passage in 1974 or 1975. User: Pantufas Aug 30, 2009 2:51 PM

1960 Election: JFK Prematurely Declared the Winner

1960 Election: JFK Prematurely Declared the Winner Interesting story behind this clip: Its 7:20 AM on Wednesday November 9, 1960. Chet and David have been on the air nonstop for over 12 hours and the NBC execs are getting worried about how much longer they can go on. Kennedy is still just one electoral vote shy of victory, and he is leading in three states (Minn., Ill., and Cal.) any one of which will put him over the top. David Brinkley in his autobiography says that someone at NBC gave an order to declare Kennedy the winner in the state where he had the biggest lead thus calling the election for him. At 7:19 AM EST his lead was largest in California, so NBC called the state for him, and declared Kennedy the winner of the election. Huntley and Brinkley turned the proceedings over to Dave Garroway and the Today Show, and left for a well-deserved rest. Only problem was that Kennedy didn't win California. It took several days of counting absentee ballots, but Nixon took the Golden State. If NBC had been willing to wait a few more hours, Minnesota would have delivered victory to JFK. So who gave the order to award California to Kennedy? Brinkley said he never found out. Seems that afterwards no one would admit to being the responsible party. User: Griff Dec 18, 2008 3:50 AM

1960 Nixon vs. Kennedy Debate.

1960 Nixon vs. Kennedy Debate. "The Bronze Warrior", a chapter in the of the PBS American Experience series "The Presidents" gives a nine minute treatment of the 1960 Presidential race between Richard Nixon and John F. Kennedy. These were the first debate ever between presidential candidates in the United States, televised or otherwise. Nixon was the favorite going in, but ended up losing the election by a narrow margin and suspicion of electoral fraud. The first Kennedy/Nixon debate is often cited to underscore the power of television in modern elections. Polls taken afterward indicated the radio audience tended to asses Nixon as the winner, while television audiences polled the reverse. Takehome lesson: Always wear makeup, but don't get caught applying it on camera. User: loqi Sep 26, 2008 4:44 PM
