Kennedy speak in support of his administration’s program for medical care for the elderly. The president said the arguments against his Medicare program are the same ones raised 25 years ago when social security was proposed. Though he made health care a major campaign issue, as president can't get a plan for the elderly through Congress. (AP Photo/File)
