National Physicians' Committee for the Extension of Medical Service

The National Physicians' Committee for the Extension of Medical Service (also known as the National Physicians Committee, or NPC) was a lobbying organization affiliated with the American Medical Association, and supported by pharmaceutical concerns. In 1948-1949, the NPC attacked Truman-era national health care proposals, such as the Wagner-Murray-Dingell Bill, and federal security administrator Oscar R. Ewing's advocacy of compulsory health insurance.
