Nancy Pelosi(@SpeakerPelosi):61 years ago, President Johnson signed Medicare and Medicaid into law—providing millions of vulnerable Americans with a pillar of health and economic security. He did so in Independence, Missouri, alongside President Truman, who championed the initiative during his time in office. As Republicans gut these vital lifelines to give more tax cuts to the rich, our fight to protect the care that millions of Americans rely on has never been more important.
