Series 3: American Medical Association Attack On Truman Health Program, 1939-1953
Scope and Contents
Series 3 appears to consist of material found in three distinct subseries in Michael M. Davis's files on the American Medical Association (AMA). The first subseries consists of materials on the AMA's opposition to the CNH, while the third details the similar activities of the AMA-associated National Physicians' Committee for the Extension of Medical Service (NPC). Correspondence, publications, and news clippings related to the AMA's and NPC's campaigns... can be found here. The second subseries consists of six folders on the campaign against national health insurance and the CNH by Whitaker and Baxter, a San Francisco-based political public relations firm hired by the AMA to direct their national education campaign. All three subseries contain examples of CNH's response to the AMA efforts.
Additional material can be found misfiled on reel 1.
