Report to the Nation No.20. July 5 - this day makes history

July 5 Insurance and assistance to help in all the changes and chances of life, a free national health service for all—these are the great landmarks in British social progress which we have reached this month. Who will pay for them? We must pay for them ourselves. Into the national insurance fund will flow contributions paid by those who are employed, by their employers, by those who are on their own, and sums of money paid by the Government out of the taxes collected from all of us. Out of it will flow the unemployment, sickness, widowhood and maternity benefits, and retirement pensions.
