Didn't medicare come about because seniors simply can't afford insurance? Not sure what their aim is here except to eliminate medicare and let grandma drop dead because she can't afford to go to the doctor.
no, medicare came about because LBJ wanted to buy votes.
Ironically, he screwed up Vietnam so much in the view of his party members that he never even got the nomination and had to drop out of the primary.
I've had plenty of fights with my liberal friends over Johnson. I think because of Vietnam he deserves the title of one of America's worst Presidents.
But he was quite popular and could have easily won a second term.
