President Johnson explains his vision…
• No longer will older Americans be denied the healing miracle of modern medicine. No longer will illness crush and destroy the savings that they have so carefully put away over a lifetime so that they might enjoy dignity in their later years. No longer will young families see their own incomes, and their own hopes, eaten away simply because they are carrying out their deep moral obligations to their parents, and to their uncles, and their aunts.

Before Medicare
• Before the enactment of Medicare, only 50% of seniors had health insurance and 35% lived in poverty.
• Even a minor illness or injury could bankrupt older Americans and their families.
• Therefore, the elderly often chose to die because they did not want to be a personal or financial burden on their families.
