In 1965 the federal government provided for another group -- the medically indigent -- through a program that is known as Medicaid. Title XIX of Public Law 89-97, under the Social Security Amendments of 1965, provided for agreements with states for assistance from the federal government to provide medical care for people meeting specific eligibility criteria.
So to condense this answer: Title XIX of Public Law 89-97; which is under the Social Security Amendments of 1965.
