We in Missouri have a unique connection to this historic birthday.
The Medicare and Medicaid programs were signed into law on July 30, 1965. President LBJ had the signing ceremony in Independence, Missouri at
the Truman Library. Former President Truman was in attendance sitting next to him. LBJ held the ceremony there to honor President Truman's
leadership on health insurance, which he first proposed in 1945.
