American President Ronald Reagan had intentions to benefit the common good. Every action and decision he made, whether it was aiding those in financial need or protecting America’s citizens, was made with the collective interest in mind. His actions as President truly reflected the collectivist value of collective interest. For Saskatchewan Premier Tommy Douglas, his views stemmed from a more individualist point of view. The most evident principle of individualism he acted upon was that of self interest. The implementation of healthcare was extracted from a personal experience of Douglas’ and contributed to his belief of one being responsible for their own well being. Enabling healthcare ensured that an individual would be able to look after themselves medical wise. By advocating pension plans, he enabled individuals to be able to sufficiently look after themselves after retirement. He also played a role in advocating on behalf of civil servant rights. Each action Tommy Douglas performed was in the hopes of improving an individual 's quality of life, and the principle of self-interest never left
