President Lyndon B. Johnson in June 1966, just before
the implementation of the Medicare program:
"Medical care will free millions from their miseries.
It will signal a deep and lasting change in the American
way of life. It will take its place beside Social Security
and together they will form the twin pillars of protection
upon which all our people can safely build their lives and
their hope." |
