Answer:

The Vietnam war impacted the president by reducing medicare, funding, also the president was focused on the present and the new frontier.

Step-by-step explanation:

Anti-war Democrats complained that spending on the Vietnam War choked off the Great Society. While some of the programs have been eliminated or had their funding reduced, many of them, including Medicare, Medicaid, the Older Americans Act and federal education funding, continue to the present.
