He was the first U.S. president to call for universal health care and national health insurance. He promoted the conservation movement, emphasizing efficient use of natural resources. He added enormously to the national forests in the West, reserved lands for public use and fostered great irrigation projects. After 1906, he attacked big business and suggested the courts were biased against labor unions.…
Franklin D. Roosevelt proposed several versions of a lifelong universal health care system throughout his long tenure, but his efforts were reserved, and with everything else he had on his plate, it's no surprise they fell to a back burner. After his death, Harry Truman took up that torch openly, but he could never bring it to fruition. Johnson and Nixon both made their own efforts as well, but all these fell short of truly universal healthcare for their own reasons. (Palmer) Across the board, a major obstacle was the stark division between the conservative right side and the liberal left side of the discussion.…
It is said that a single man can learn much from predicting the future, yet they fail to acknowledge the past. Society does not realize that the past is what makes the decisions of the presents which eventually led to the events that unfold in the future.

Therefore, Greece was not exceptions to this rule, having been completely destroyed economically and politically due to the effect of World War II which lasted six grueling years from 1839-1845.…

His plan was to give all people equal rights, to raise minimum wage, to get federal funding for education, and he wanted all of America to have health insurance. Congress did not believe that those things were a good idea but they did agree to raise the minimum wage and established the “Housing Act” which provided 800,000 houses for the poor. Truman lost sight of his original goals throughout the years, and foreign affairs such as the “Korean War” and the “Cold War” eventually abolished his…

The prime reason for this, after all, is that I, as a healthcare provider, am not only working with people (i.e. healthcare personnel and consumers), but I am serving an often vital role to those in need.…
