Medicaid and Medicare&#8230;were also features of Johnson&#8217;s Great Society. Despite what people have been led to believe, however, the poor had done relatively well in securing health care before Medicaid. The year prior to the introduction of MEdicaid, for exampoe, poor families had considerably higher hospital admission rates than did those in wealthier brackets.

It&#8217;s about different cultures and what they find &#8220;taboo,&#8221; though the show&#8217;s creators certainly are quite liberal in their application of the word &#8220;taboo.&#8221; (They seem to think it means &#8220;something that Americans might find strange.&#8221;)
