Answer:

  • Lyndon b. Johnson

Step-by-step explanation:

After Johnson became President and Democrats assumed responsibility for Congress in 1964, Medicare and Medicaid became law. Medicare took care of hospital and physician costs for the elderly who qualified; Medicaid took care of healthcare costs for people getting cash assistance from the government.

The two projects filled in as safety nets for America's most vulnerable.

Because of Medicaid and Medicare, it was the administration of "Lyndon Johnson" that was seen as making great strides in health care, since Johnson wanted to improve the lives of average Americans.
