President Lyndon B. Johnson intended to implement the Great Society program through a series of ambitious policies and initiatives focused on eliminating poverty and racial injustice while promoting education, healthcare, and civil rights. This included the creation of Medicare and Medicaid for healthcare access, the Elementary and Secondary Education Act to enhance education funding, and the War on Poverty initiatives to provide economic support and job training. Johnson sought to leverage federal government resources and programs to address social issues and improve the quality of life for all Americans. His vision was to create a more equitable society through comprehensive legislation and community engagement.
The Great Society program became Johnson's agenda for Congress in January 1965: aid to education, attack on disease, Medicare, urban renewal, beautification, conservation, development of depressed regions, a wide-scale fight against poverty, control and prevention of crime and delinquency, and the removal of obstacles
This was part of a package of legislation put forth by President Johnson (LBJ), under his "Great Society" program; that became side-tracked by the escalating war in Southeast Asia. See: "Great Society", "War on Poverty".
