One reform was about healthcare. He wanted to introduce a better healthcare system that would help the elderly and those who were in need. This included the poor areas where even those who were not elderly were not able to afford healthcare in the system as it was then. These changes were repealed by the congress.

Another change was regarding education. He believed that education was key to establishing a great democracy and to helping with equality and civil rights. That's why he created new programs to increase salaries to teachers, introduce numerous new science courses, and also worked on desegregating schools, but most of his programs were denied.
