President Eisenhower's Health Reinsurance Program passes both the House and the Senate and is signed by the President in late '54 or early '55. This program enables private insurance companies to extend coverage and the federal government will pay back any big losses to the insurance companies. After five years, the program pays for itself through the premiums of the people insured, taking the burden off the federal government.

So with Health Reisurance Program in action, how is America of the 50's and 60's affected?
Does stay in play for a long time or is it scrapped by a future administration and congress?
Is Medicare and Medicaid still passed in 1965?
What impact does it have on 21st Century America?

Feel free to take this and run with it.
