description Governor Lurleen Wallace addressing the Medical Association of the State of Alabama during its annual meeting at the Jefferson Davis Hotel in Montgomery from April 20 to 22, 1967. During the speech, she speaks against "socialized medicine," which she claims the United States is drifting toward: "Take a minute, if you will, and read the medical legislation enacted by Congress in the past ten years. Read it and then ask yourself if this nation has not in the past ten years moved further down the road toward socialized medicine than in all the previous years in American history. I would insist this is so, and I would insist that unless you, as members of the medical profession, in concert with your colleagues of the other states join hands in opposition to this trend, then the medical practice as you know it today is doomed."
