The Medicare program was not and still the GOP would like to end it and Social Security but it benefits lots of people. FDR holds the Social Security in his legacy and LBJ holds the Medicare in his legacy. I think the ACA will continue to be Obama's legacy. There will be some tweaking but too many have benefitted and even the GOP has even halted their repeal.
