While the Fair Deal Act was many proposals, offered by President Harry S. Truman to Congress, the term was simply a general characterization of a big agenda for the whole country that while sounding nice, was never fully implimented. The fair deal reforms that did not happen were a national health insurance program called Apex, and civil rights for all.

You didn't show us the list of choices, but I can give you some information about the Fair Deal.

President Truman outlined his Fair Deal" in a speech delivered in January, 1949.  He proposed that Congress work on:

  • - Expanding Social Security
  • - Increase minimum wage from 40 to 75 cents an hour
  • - Implementing anti-discrimination policies in employment
  • - Addressing civil rights issues
  • - Expanding public housing
  • - Providing federal aid to education
  • - Providing federal assistance to farmers
  • - Establishing national health insurance

There were more proposals as well, but most of the proposals (including most of those noted above) did not gain any traction with Congress.  Congress did extend Social Security coverage and raise the benefits, and also did raise the minimum wage.  But other proposals did not go into effect.
