Summary
The May 1973 issue of HealthPAC Bulletin focuses on the significant federal health cutbacks initiated by President Nixon, highlighting the broader economic crisis impacting domestic social programs. The editorial critiques the failures of Great Society health initiatives and argues for a more fundamental restructuring of the health system rather than merely opposing budget cuts. It emphasizes the need for health activists to build a strong constituency for comprehensive change, rather than settling for a defensive stance against cutbacks. The issue also discusses the implications of Nixon's policies on health care inflation and the dependency of health institutions on public funding, calling for accountability and control over health spending.
