it made me think back, one, that john f. kennedy's book "profiles in courage" was thin, not a big book. i wrote my own book, the faint in heart, you can't get anything done without courage. it always comes with a cost. george romney, mitt romney's father paid a cost for advocacy for civil rights. she paid a great cost for standing up to mccarthy in the 1950s. congresswoman barbara lee in the house was the only member of the house to vote against the 2001 authorization for military force in iraq because she believed it was a blank check for president bush. and she has proved to be right. so history is sometimes kinder to people than what they have to live through in the time in which they take these very difficult stances. >> yes, senator wayne morris was the only vote in the united states senate against the tongan revolution in the vietnam war. he lost his next reelection campaign, and so -- and i'm not sure that doug jones wasn't -- i'm sure he was, john, completely conscious of what he was putting on the line today. he's one of thos

john f. kennedyhow he had that cuddly relationship with members of the press who knew things about his private life that were perhaps not very flattering and chose to overlook it. of course, it was a different time then. presidents who understand the role of journalists, who respect them for what they do, who respect the first amendment. freedom of the press is part of the first amendment. we were the first country to make that part of our governing laws, so it is very important to our very foundation, our dna as a country. so it is presidents who are not thin-skinned, who understand the role of the press as being the voice of the people, and those who understand the medium of their day and are able to project through that medium. susan: we're going to dig into history, but not in chronological order. i want to start with the nixon presidency. the relationship between president nixon and the press seemed strained throughout much of his public life. john farrell just did a landmark nixon biography, an

the law's ratification shortly after the assassination of president john f. kennedy meant that there was a greater focus on the medicare law and there were certain historical reasons for this. medicare grew out of the act in 1960 which also grew out of the medical aid for the aged mma program, which was a new deal era program that began in the 1940's and 1950's. and for that reason, most policymakers and legislators were focused on delivering medical assistance, public insurance options, for the elderly who were at risk of bankruptcy and high costs from end-of-life care. so when medicaid was appended to the law, it was seen as a way to extend a similar program to those who were deemed medically indigent. at first, the category of medical indigence was seen as a way to capture people that did not have incomes below the official poverty line. so say if a family of four in new york made $6,000, if they made $6,001, they would not have qualified for the prior systems. -- assistance. expanded a similar aid for those not below the poverty line. certainly very different in
