The correct answers, which describe events associated with Presidents from the 1950s and 1960s are:

- Johnson's "Great Society" created Medicare and Medicaid.

The Great Society was a program and set of domestic policies of the United States in the 1960s. Proposed and put in place by President Lyndon B. Johnson, it was a continuation of Kennedy's New Frontier, some of whose initiatives were deadlocked.

Several projects of the program became a success, such as Medicare, Medicaid and various federal funds for education. Investments in social and welfare areas, guaranteed in the "Great Society," were expanded by presidents Richard Nixon and Gerald Ford.

-The Interstate Highway System was created.

The construction of the Interstate Highway System was authorized by the Federal Aid Highway Act of 1956.
