Strongly agree

Yes

Lyndon B. Johnson was a strong advocate for healthcare reform and signed the Social Security Amendments of 1965 into law, which established Medicare and Medicaid. These programs align with the principles of the Affordable Care Act, suggesting he would likely support it. However, as the ACA was not in existence during his presidency, it's not possible to definitively say he would fully support it.

Strongly agree

Yes, I support a majority of the plan but not all aspects

Johnson's approach to healthcare reform was pragmatic and incremental, suggesting he might support most of the ACA while recognizing that not all aspects are perfect.

Agree

Yes, but a mandatory single payer system would be even better

Johnson's establishment of Medicare and Medicaid, which are government-run healthcare programs, suggests he might be open to a single-payer system. However, it's unclear whether he would support making it mandatory.

Agree

Yes, and allow consumers to choose providers and import pharmaceuticals from other countries

Johnson's commitment to expanding healthcare access might make him open to measures that increase consumer choice and reduce costs, such as allowing the importation of pharmaceuticals. However, it's unclear how strongly he would support these specific measures.

Disagree

No, open the markets so insurers can compete across state lines and reduce costs

While Johnson did believe in competition and free markets, his administration also saw the government play a significant role in healthcare. Therefore, he might not fully agree with the idea of leaving healthcare entirely to market forces.

Strongly disagree

No

Given Johnson's commitment to expanding healthcare access through Medicare and Medicaid, it's unlikely he would oppose a law like the ACA that seeks to further expand access to healthcare.

Very strongly disagree

No, government should not be involved in healthcare

Johnson's presidency was marked by an expansion of the federal government's role in healthcare, making it highly unlikely he would agree with the statement that the government should not be involved in healthcare.
