In Independence, Missouri, President Lyndon Johnson dramatically expands health care coverage in America by signing the law creating Medicare and Medicaid. He does this in Missouri to honor former president Harry S. Truman, who had first proposed a national health insurance plan 20 years earlier. But Truman’s proposal had stalled in Congress, largely due to staunch opposition from the American Medical Association (AMA), which coined the term “socialized medicine” to describe the concept. President John F. Kennedy had likewise been unsuccessful in pushing for national health insurance in 1961—that time the AMA had hired a former actor named Ronald Reagan to make its case.

Today, Medicare provides health care coverage for close to 50 million Americans.
