A 286A FILED BY MISS CONWAY August 14, 1952 AUG 28 1952 Dear Don: I can't tell you how very much I appreciated your letter us. of the seventh. You certainly have gotten right at the meat of the situation with which we are faced. My objective in a health insurance proposition is to meet the very difficult situation with which people in the two thousand to six thousand group are placed when it comes to health services. These "Skin flint" loan companies, x 212 who charge the people from twenty-seven to fifty per cent interest on small loans, I think are the worst vultures we have to contend with - they and the American Medical XPP73276 Association are the very reason there has been such a xisen howl about health insurance. One of their sources of ill- gotten income would be dried up. I can see very well why # these loan companies wouldn't want health insurance bet for the life of me I can't get the doctors point of view 226 because the objective is to help these people have a nest x 286-B egg so the doctors and hospitals can be paid. Thanks a lot for sending me this information. It will be exceedingly useful to me in the coming campaign. Sincerely yours, HARRY S. TRUMAN Honorable Donald C. Cook x143 Chairman Securities and Exchange Commission Washington 25, D. C. X230
