President Omar Kinkaid.
The Keefe-Wilkinson Social Insurance Bill was a reform bill promoted by Mexican President Omar Kinkaid which created a program of health and sickness benefits for the people of the United States of Mexico. Like the Thomas Railroad Reform Act and the Fernandez Tax Reform Bill of 1878, the Keefe-Wilkinson Bill was opposed by Bernard Kramer and a majority of the Continentalist Party caucus in the Mexican Congress. Nevertheless, Kinkaid was able to win passage of the bill thanks to a coalition between his minority faction of the Continentalists and a faction of the Liberty Party led by Senate Minority Leader Thomas Rogers. After its passage, Kinkaid called it and the Thomas Act the cornerstone for "an epoch of reform."
