However this did not provide any medical benefits. In 1965, the Social Security Act allowed Medicare. This was a program that gave Americans 65 and over access to health insurance at a low cost. With Medicare being an insurance program, they wanted to provide financial responsibility for illnesses everywhere for everyone. Johnson's healthcare policies came up with another program called Medicaid that gave other heath benefits to the poor and Americans who received welfare.]]> 2021-04-28 18:45:15 UTC https://padlet.com/pdelafuente2/osoj01kg5ur750mm/wish/1470631938 https://padlet.com/pdelafuente2/osoj01kg5ur750mm/wish/1470633056 1.) Immigrants were prohibited to continue immigration due to the laws made in the 1920s, which limited the number of Southern and Eastern Europeans and completely restricted Asian And African immigration. However, the Immigration Act of 1965 abolished the strict immigration quotas by allowing immigrants to immigrate based on nationality. Once the law was signed, President Johnson stated that the previous prohibitions were "un-American" and "violated the basic principle of American democracy." 

2.) Changed the cultural landscape of America and led to the growth in a variety of origin immigration (ie Latin American and Asian) --cue to the pie charts. ]]> 2021-04-28 18:45:27 UTC https://padlet.com/pdelafuente2/osoj01kg5ur750mm/wish/1470633056 https://padlet.com/pdelafuente2/osoj01kg5ur750mm/wish/1470633747 1) This program addressed the quality of education for low-income children and improve their overall school performance once they reached Kindergarten.

Thomas Sowell is a conservative economist, author, social commentator and senior fellow at Stanford. He wrote the “The War on Poverty Revisited”  talking about his views on the great society. 
2. Sowell is arguing that the great society is not beneficial and instead causes damage to society. He says that the continuation of the rise of African Americans out of poverty did not accelerate. Housing projects and new policies increased the crime rates along with teenage pregnancy. He says that more progress was made with civil rights before the great society.]]> 2021-04-28 18:46:46 UTC https://padlet.com/pdelafuente2/osoj01kg5ur750mm/wish/1470638649 https://padlet.com/pdelafuente2/osoj01kg5ur750mm/wish/1470639786 1) Joseph Califano was a special assistant to President Johnson in 1965 and was the senior domestic policy aid for his term.]]> 2021-04-28 18:47:01 UTC https://padlet.com/pdelafuente2/osoj01kg5ur750mm/wish/1470639786 https://padlet.com/pdelafuente2/osoj01kg5ur750mm/wish/1470639829 This Program would help create a Great Society because it would offer low-cost housing to millions of Americans in urban areas, allowing society to grow to be more inclusive. The Programs legacy is to create more living areas for Americans, but also had social issues that persisted in urban areas.]]> 2021-04-28 18:47:01 UTC https://padlet.com/pdelafuente2/osoj01kg5ur750mm/wish/1470639829 https://padlet.com/pdelafuente2/osoj01kg5ur750mm/wish/1470640390 This program would help create a great society by making the school system better by helping low-income children with education and experiences. It also helped for getting text books and other materials. Today, it still stands, helping kids enroll into schools, helps with low-income, and the "No Child Left Behind" act passed by President George W. Bush in 2001. It has increased funding for schools but has been controversial since it "stresses standardized testing and contains financial rewards and punishments for schools regarding testing targets".]]> 2021-04-28 18:47:08 UTC https://padlet.com/pdelafuente2/osoj01kg5ur750mm/wish/1470640390 22tchow https://padlet.com/pdelafuente2/osoj01kg5ur750mm/wish/1470641178 2021-04-28 18:47:19 UTC https://padlet.com/pdelafuente2/osoj01kg5ur750mm/wish/1470641178 22jburns https://padlet.com/pdelafuente2/osoj01kg5ur750mm/wish/1470643391 1) The issues addressed were civil rights, fair housing, and voter protection; the Civil Rights Act addressed the segregation from public places and jobs, the Fair Housing Act made it unlawful to deny anyone housing on the basis of race, and the Voting Rights 
Act outlawed discriminatory voting practices such as literacy tests. 

2) These acts would help make a greater society as they made a better and more equal like for African Americans as they were no longer able to be denied service and were now allowed the right to vote. ]]> 2021-04-28 18:47:47 UTC https://padlet.com/pdelafuente2/osoj01kg5ur750mm/wish/1470643391 22tchow https://padlet.com/pdelafuente2/osoj01kg5ur750mm/wish/1470643611 2) Some of the success brought from the Great Society include,  the portion of American Poverty dropped from 22.2 to 12.6 percent. Without the American poverty solution in todays society there would be 24 million MORE Americans in poverty. With the access to to Medicare Medicare has served more than 200 million Americans in need.

2) This program would help create a great society because it helped millions of low-income Americans and families. Head Start, VISTA, Job Corps, and Federal Food Assistance were all expanded and continue to exist. ]]> 2021-04-28 18:47:52 UTC https://padlet.com/pdelafuente2/osoj01kg5ur750mm/wish/1470643758 https://padlet.com/pdelafuente2/osoj01kg5ur750mm/wish/1470647352 The issue addressed with this Program was that housing in the suburbs was far too expensive and not widely available. This Program changed that as it made over 240,000 homes while also building them with the intent of having their rent be low. ]]> 2021-04-28 18:48:38 UTC https://padlet.com/pdelafuente2/osoj01kg5ur750mm/wish/1470647352 https://padlet.com/pdelafuente2/osoj01kg5ur750mm/wish/1470691539 These acts would help make a greater society as they made a better and more equal like for african americans as they were no longer able to be denied service and were now allowed the right to vote.]]> 2021-04-28 18:58:38 UTC https://padlet.com/pdelafuente2/osoj01kg5ur750mm/wish/1470691539
