It’s a shame that Texas’ political leadership likes to cast shade on a signature achievement of a fellow Texan who became one of America’s most productive presidents.

Johnson, who in signing Medicare and Medicaid into law quoted Deuteronomy’s command to show compassion for the poor: “Thou shalt open thine hand wide unto thy brother, to thy poor, and to thy needy, in thy land.”
