In 1963, President Johnson secured approval from Congress to begin his War on Poverty, which allocated $1 billion to the Office of Economic Opportunity to increase employment programs. President Johnson supported the Civil Rights Act, which outlawed discrimination on the basis of color, race, religion, gender, or national origin in public accommodations and employment. After election to a term as president, he introduced Medicare, which provided a two-part plan that insured all Americans over 65 against expensive hospital bills and provided inexpensive insurance for those covered by Social Security.
