The Great Society had several major goals. Full civil rights for blacks and other minorities, economic help for the poor and disadvantaged of all races (known as the War on Poverty), the establishment of governmental agencies to train unemployed, generous funding for schools and colleges, and special "Head Start" programs for youth of the poor classes in society.
From a speech in Michigan by Pres. Lyndon Johnson, in 1964: [http://coursesa.matrix.msu.edu/~hst306/documents/great.html]
Will you join in the battle to give every citizen the full equality which God enjoins and the law requires, whatever his belief, or race, or the color of his skin?
Will you join in the battle to give every citizen an escape from the crushing weight of poverty?
Will you join in the battle to make it possible for all nations to live in enduring peace -- as neighbors and not as mortal enemies?
Will you join in the battle to build the Great Society to prove that our material progress is only the foundation on which we will build a richer life of mind and spirit?
The Great Society was a war on poverty and was led by lyndon B Johnson. There were several things involved in the Great Society :
The US now had a form of a welfare system. Poverty levels declined (In 1973, only 11% of the population was under the poverty line). It divided the Democratic Party (Southern democrats were angry about the new Civil Rights Act and started to turn conservative). This plan also created a budget deficit because the U.S could not afford both Vietnam and the Great Society.
A More Jaded AnswerLBJ's Great Society programs -- most notably Medicare and Medicaid and the fundamental welfare programs that turned into things like AFDC -- are cheap extensions of FDR's New Deal. They have directly and literally bankrupted the country by creating so-called "entitlements" that no modern economy can support.It's probably not fair to claim that Johnson's Great Society programs had the country's bankruptcy as their goal. But it is certain that Johnson cared little for the long-term economic effects of his ideas on the nation.
Like all life-long politicians, Johnson was mainly concerned about gathering votes.
And, truth be told, the 'good deeds done' were paid for by bad ones.

As Medicare & medicaid has goal of affordable care for elders and for those who are permanently disable it facilitate such people with reasonable health care, hence it fits in with great society goals of providing affordable health care system.
You may be referring to the "Great Society." President Lyndon B. Johnson wanted to try to end poverty, reduce crime, and also reduce income inequality. He also wanted to improve the environment. Beginning in May of 1964, he announced a series of programs and policies that he hoped would achieve these goals, including what he called the "War on Poverty." As part of the policies he supported, he started the Job Corps, to provide vocational training; and he also championed Medicare, to provide affordable health care for the elderly.
In the annual State of the Union Address, the president presents goals for the legislative.
LBJ will be remembered for his "Great Society," a goal to free the US from poverty, enact Civil Rights laws to end discrimination and increase the right to vote among minorities, increase education in the nation, and provide a program to help citizens obtain affordable health care through the program that became known as medicare. Unfortunately, he will also be remembered as trying the accomplish the goals of the Great Society while fighting an unpopular war in Vietnam, which caused a tremendous increase in government spending and split the nation into doves and hawks regarding the war.
In a successful society, both individuals and the society itself will have goals set for itself. For example, in the past, the USA had the goal to put a man on the moon.
By naked conquest, before trying to establish a Greek-style society, cut short by his early death.
