Lyndon Johnson actually said...

"I again strongly urge the Congress to enact a hospital insurance program for the aged."

"I believe this year is the year when, with the sure knowledge of public support, the Congress should enact a hospital insurance program for the aged."

"An attention to health has contributed to the vitality and efficiency of our system as well as to the happiness and prosperity of our people."

"I am proud to be among my colleagues of the Congress whose legacy to their trust is their loyalty to their Nation."
