Although not a household name, Wilbur Cohen (1913-1987) was an important
player in the design of American social insurance legislation from the New Deal
to the Great Society. As an employee of the new Social Security
Administration (1934), Cohen helped shape that institution. He influenced the
Eisenhower administration, the first post-New Deal Republican, to continue
support for the system. In the Johnson and Kennedy years, he was a planner at
the Department of Health, Education and Welfare, rising to Secretary of the
Department (1968-1969). He also played a major role in the design of
Medicare, adopted in 1965. Fine condition.
