I think the tipping point is honestly Internet access. A member of the welfare class today has free access to the sum of human knowledge. No one had that in the 1950's.
And frankly, the poor have much better access to health care thank you think. I know from personal experience that a poor, uninsured person can still get necessary or even largely elective surgeries that may not have even existed, and surely would not be performed with the same level of safety and quality, in 1950.
Oh yes--and abortion was actually illegal in the 1950's.
