In 1945, President Truman introduced the idea of healthcare for all.
Since 2025, Trump has done everything possible to remove these benefits from all American citizens.
When Lyndon B. Johnson passed Medicare and Medicaid into law at the Harry S. Truman library, he said: “The people of the United States love and voted for Harry Truman, not because he gave them hell—but because he gave them hope.”
“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.
“And,” he said, “no longer will this Nation refuse the hand of justice to those who have given a lifetime of service and wisdom and labor to the progress of this progressive country.”
