HEALTH CARE: LBJ's Daughter Joins Push for Health Reform

We are not quite sure what Lyndon Johnson would have done had he lived in the age of YouTube (the mind boggles), but his daughter, Linda Bird Johnson Robb, jumped in to make a video with the Alliance for Retired Americans that aims to reassure U.S. seniors that health reform is in their interest, and in the interest of a  healthy sustainable Medicare program.

Robb, who reached Medicare eligibility age herself this year, recalled the achievements of  Presidents Roosevelt, Truman, Kennedy and Johnson -- "Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid and more."

She recalled the day her father signed Medicare into law -- and gave the first Medicare card to former President Harry Truman.

Now it's time, she said, to complete "the unfinished business of our generation."

"Reject the falsehoods," she said.  Pass health reform.
