Prior to the 1960s, it was assumed that all Americans were entitled to all of the health care knowledge,
skills, and treatments available no matter what the cost. Expenditures for health care escalated upwards
and, in an attempt to control these costs, the U.S. government enacted Titles XVIII and XIX in 1965.
Titles XVIII and XIX were amendments to the Social Security Act (Medicare and Medicaid
programs). They were designed to require health care providers to provide documentation of care for
Medicare and Medicaid patients.
