Social Security Act of 1965
The Social Security Act of 1935 established national social insurance, welfare, and other assistance programs in the US, but it did not address healthcare. Years later, President Harry Truman drew attention to this issue when he unsuccessfully lobbied for the establishment of a national healthcare program. By the 1960s, the political climate was more open to reform, and the Social Security Act amendments creating Medicare and Medicaid were passed. What is the difference between the two programs?

"In my years fighting for working people, I witnessed something on July 24 I never thought I would see: low-wage workers from as many as 10 different campaigns coming together as one for better wages, meaningful benefits and -- most of all -- respect."

A Possible Strategy for Organized Labor » Counterpunch: Tells the Facts, Names the Names
 |
| CounterPunch (Photo credit: Wikipedia) |
"For openers, labor needs to stop pretending they represent God and country, or that they’re this respectable vanguard of social change. They need to reconnect not only with their history but with their mission, acknowledging that they are (and always have been) a rogue institution, despised and feared by those with money and power. The only difference between Labor Past and Labor Present is the lack of blood on the streets….and the size of their bank accounts."

"But you’d be wrong. What bankrupted Stockton and San Bernardino were the most severe housing busts in the nation. What bankrupted those two cities were banks peddling subprime mortgages to poorly paid workers."

Veterans Forced to Attend Anti-Union Meetings on Army Base - Working In These Times

| no to union busting (Photo credit: Nuevo Anden) |
"For the last six months, Croic and 120 of his co-workers, nearly half of whom are veterans, have been forced to attend anti-union meetings, in which General Dynamics managers make them watch films about why unions are bad. General Dynamics has routinely told workers that if they vote to join union that it will likely lead to General Dynamics losing their contract with the U.S. Army. On several occasions, General Dynamics has even flown some of their top corporate officials out on Lear jets from their corporate headquarters in Sterling Heights, Michigan, to explain to the workers why they shouldn’t join a union."

Reich throws cold water on the idea that this is a
solely British scandal. "So far, the scandal has been
limited to Barclay's, a big London-based bank that
just paid $453 million to U.S. and British bank
regulators, whose top executives have been forced to
resign, and whose traders' emails give a chilling
picture of how easily they got their colleagues to rig
interest rates in order to make big bucks," he wrote.
"But Wall Street has almost surely been involved in
the same practice, including the usual suspects -
JPMorgan Chase, Citigroup, and Bank of America -
because every major bank participates in setting the
LIBOR rate, and Barclay's couldn't have rigged it
without their witting involvement," Reich continued.
The Economist said, "looks less like rogue trading,
more like a cartel."
