 In this July 30, 1965, file photo President Lyndon B. Johnson, (left), with former Pres. Harry S. Truman at his side, uses the last of many pens to complete the signing of the Medicare Bill into law at ceremonies at the Truman Library in Independence, Missouri.

At rear from left are Lady Bird Johnson, Vice President Hubert Humphrey, and former first lady Bess Truman. (AP Photo, File)
