Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry's health care plan, representing a vast 1.5 trillion dollar increase in costs billable to the American taxpayer over the next ten years, depends for many of its bold new health-related policy initiatives on the advice and counsel of the candidate's sharp-tongued philanthropist and food fortune heiress wife, Teresa Heinz Kerry.
Does America know what it's getting itself in for?
With the death of her first senator husband, John Heinz III, Teresa Heinz Kerry found herself a billionairess in control of the Heinz Family Endowments one of the nation's largest philanthropic organizations dispensing charitable millions to fund radical environmental causes, New Age Medicine, gay rights advocacy and a wide variety of education projects.
Teresa assumes the role of an expert in operating these vast charities even though she had no formal education, training or experience in any related field prior to assuming the mantle of leadership after her first husband's death. Prior to that she was a housewife and, by her own account, for all practical purposes took no significant role in managing the family business interests or the foundations.
With her marriage to Sen. John Kerry in 1995 -- after having re-invented herself as a major philanthropist designing scientific, medical and social programs -- Teresa parlayed her philanthropic credentials into becoming the presidential aspirant's principal advisor on medical, environmental and education matters.....

TerriCare = white grapes soaked in gin.
What's with these electoral candidates' wives thinking they are going to run the country.
Since Hillary? We saw how she went down in flames over health care.
Tereza doesn't even come close.
That alone would put me off voting for Lurch if his goofy wife was going to start directing traffic from the Oval Office too.
Billionaires always think they know what's best for everyone. After all, look what they made of themselves. OOPS. I forgot about inheritance and the computer geeks.
Oh, well, Hillary tried it, but methinks Teresa will not have her chance.
WHAT DID JOHN HEINZ SEE IN THIS WOMAN?
$$$$$$$$$
Whoops! I read that all wrong. You are right. What could he have seen in her?
Mommie Dearest.
That wonderful philanthropist, Theresa Heinz Kerry, after being goaded by a local radio personality, went to the sight of the flash floods that devastated and destroyed hundreds of homes in the original Heinz family hometown following the horrendous rains from the hurricanes that struck here (less than 10 mis. from where the Heinz estate outside P'burgh is located) and said she wasn't in any position to help with the cleanup or ongoing effort by local people to help the families of the area who were left with nothing, said she'd only come to have a look around. This was caught on tape and replayed on Quinn's program for several days. That's what I call a REAL philanthropist!
It is white raisins soaked in gin, and it has been touted as a "cure" for many years. I can't beleive so many people have never heard of it. Don't people talk to their parents and grandparents anymore?
You mean, Teresa didn't have a real job?
I just thought of her breast feeding. The raisins don't look so bad now.
