Madelyn Dean - In Health Bill’s Defeat, Medicaid Comes of Age

Medicaid was passed along with medicare by Lyndon B. Johnson in 1956. In modern times now, the amount of Americans in need of medicaid has surpassed the need for medicare. Part of the failure of the Republican Bill to rid of the affordable care act was the cuts directed towards medicaid. Trumps attempts to get rid of the Affordable Care Act have been unsuccessful due to lack of planning or better solution. Both Democrats and even Trumps own Republican party disprove of the bill and there is no chance in the near future that said bill shall be passed.

This article was written to inform the reader of the Republican parties actions and the governments standards meant for the protection of Americans. This began with the passing of Medicaid/Medicare for the protection of Americans by the government by president Lyndon B. Johnson.
