       increase defense spending, or that Government spending on

       Please look at page 7 of the booklet.
       There is much concern about the rapid rise in medical and
       hospital costs. Some people feel there should be a
       government insurance plan which would cover all medical
       and hospital expenses for everyone. Suppose these people
       are at one end of a scale, at point 1.  Others feel
       that all medical expenses should be paid by individuals
       through private insurance plans like Blue Cross or
       other company paid plans. Suppose these people are at
       the other end, at point 7. And, of course, some other
       people have opinions somewhere in between, at points
       2,3,4,5, or 6.
