Nixon made his "No. 1 domestic priority" a national health plan that would have required employers to offer insurance with standard benefits to all their employees. Dental care, mental health care and a free choice of doctors and hospitals were included. And after three years, employers (in what is now globally condemned as "employer mandate") would be required to pay 75 percent of the insurance premiums.

Nixon championed the launch of the EPA

Nixon supported the FDR New Deal and LBJ Great Society

During the Nixon years, food stamps were guaranteed to all Americans who qualified for them.

Under Nixon's welfare plan, federally funded child care was to be provided free to mothers for the training and work required. The children of the working poor as well as of the unemployed poor were all to be included, which meant an expansion of coverage from 35 percent to 100 percent of the nation's poor children.

Nixon raised the minimum wage by 40% in 1974. He also proposed a couple programs that never came to be but seem amazingly liberal – a guaranteed minimum annual wage for families (Family Assistance Program), and an expansion of Medicare / Medicaid so that everyone would be covered by a government health care program, in which all employers would have had to provide health care for their employees or make up the difference for those employees who couldn’t afford it. “Herbert Stein, Nixon’s chief economic adviser, who once wrote, ‘Probably more new regulation was imposed on the economy during the Nixon Administration than in any other presidency since the New Deal.'” In 1971, Nixon imposed price and wage controls in order to curb inflation, and also took America off the Gold standard. These price and wage controls, like Stein said above, was the most overt control of the American economy since FDR’s New Deal during the Great Depression. Nixon also signed the Clean Air Act and created the agencies, Environmental Protection Agency and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration. Nixon also expanded the food stamps program from $610 million in 1970 to $2.5 billion in 1973. Image result for EPA
