The Great Society is the collection of programs that came out of [[Lyndon B. Johnson]]'s first (and only) full term as President. Some of these are:
<UL>
<LI>Medicare
<LI>Medicaid
<LI>the National Endowment for the Arts and Humanities
<LI>the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS)
<LI>Food Stamps (the concept had existed as a New Deal program as well, but was canceled in 1943.)
</UL>
It also gave rise to the "War on Poverty."

==Speech Relevance ==
The name 'Great Society' hadn't been coined until roughly 5 months before the broadcast of Reagan's '[[A Time For Choosing]]' speech, so there is little ''direct'' connection between Johnson's designs and Reagan's speech. Indirectly, however, Reagan railed against the ideas of a socialized medical system in both '[[A Time For Choosing]]' and '[[Encroaching Control]]' and against the "War on Poverty" in '[[A Time For Choosing]]'.

Reagan also recorded a speech specifically about the dangers of [Ronald Reagan Speaks Out Against Socialized Medicine|socialized medicine].

In 1966, before he formally announced his joining the race for California governor, Reagan spoke to a rally at the Patton Center in the Bronx borough of New York. This speech is labelled as "[[The Myth of the Great Society]]".
