The original New Deal and the one that was passed were very different from each other. The first plan included things like socialized health care in it, which was too controversial at the time and Congress dropped it. The New Deal that passed was fairly revolutionary and some consider to be socialistic in nature, but it was done more out of desperation than anything else. Roosevelt himself had said that trying something and watching it fail was still better than trying nothing. He kept signing legislation that he thought would help the economy how every badly the program failed later.

It changed certain areas of American society in a few ways, first the Tennessee Valley Authority, which provided cheap electricity to the rural South for the first time and helped to bring the South into the 20th century. Second, programs like the AAA helped farmers through government subsidies. Last, the impoverish were given some sort of help through labor programs like the WPA.
