Melissa Wagoner, spokeswoman for Kennedy, added that "Making sure each American has access to quality, affordable healthcare is the cause of Senator Kennedy's life."

How long do you suppose he had that tumor?
They didn’t get it all, did they?
Mary Jo says hello.
I wonder how the lard butt intends to pay for this?
Making sure each American has access to quality, affordable healthcare is the cause of Senator Kennedy’s life.
Except, of course, when you get drunk at a party and take one of your staff to the beach in order to commit adultery with her. Then, by some fluke you happen to drive off of the bridge and into the water, the unforunate byproduct of which is her untimely prolonged agony as she suffocates to death in the car while you swim to shore, change your clothes and pretend the whole thing never happened.
There....fixed it.
The Kennedy Creed: “Mucking up the Healthcare system since 1973.”
The initiative also suggests that Kennedy ....... is considering his legacy.......
And why it will happen:
"You have got to think this will be the Ted Kennedy Health Reform Act, because he's a beloved figure and he's championed the issue for so long," said John Rother, policy director for the AARP, which has been involved in the discussions.
I’m sure the liberals will object to the Congress making laws governing their bodies, right?
Providing “quality, affordable” health care by taxing everyone up the yin-yang to pay for third-rate government health care.
Sounds like a plan.
Isn’t Kennedy now eligible to be a member of AARP!!
Abortion is between a woman and her government-assigned doctor.
He’s 50+ ..........
They seldom get it all... and the type of cancer that he has spreads quickly. What I want is for him to be forced to leave the Senate because of it... then he can live to be 100 for all I care.
Actually I think it was caused by a rhinoceros copulating with a rather large water buffalo
I will accept socialized medicine the day he, Pelosi, Reid, et al, go on the plan and I see them in the same waiting room I am. Do your hear anything, chirp, chirp, chirp.
You’ve got the AA part right.
Whether it is healthcare, energy or whatever, we need to bring about some level of cost predictability and neither party seems to have any answers.
This article is about what Kennedy’s staff is doing, not what he’s doing. Why don’t the Republicans in the Senate make Senators Byrd, Kennedy and Johnson actually show up and vote. Then we might see whether the Democrats still have a majority. (I know why - because Republicans are afraid to play hardball politics; that’s for the winners.)
I'm sure that in a nationalized health care system that the poor and middle class will have access to the top brain surgeons at Duke and the newest radiology technology at Mass General.
That’s guaranteed by Ted’s signature...
True. I read that Kennedy and his family searched for the best surgeon to do his recent surgery. I would love to know if we all will be able to search and have choices of doctors under socialized medicine? And Kennedy had his surgery done promptly. Will all of us get needed procedures done promptly, or will we be on the waiting list? Will Congress be on the waiting list with us, that’s a good question.
I also bet that his universal plan doesn’t apply to him either.
That vile scum can’t die soon enough! He is bound and determined to do as much damage to America as he can before he takes the final dirt nap.
I’m still stuck on eugenics in Eugene.
A terminally ill woman was denied drugs by the government run health care system but they offered to pay for her physician assisted suicide.....
Ditto that!!!
Making sure each American has access to quality, affordable healthcare is the cause of Senator Kennedy’s life.”
Yeah sure! He’s fighting just to see the sun come in the morning and you tell me healthcare is the cause of his life?
Political hack to the end!......
Whenever a politician says “Making sure” or “Make it easier”, hide your money.
Just a couple items Kennedy supports, not for him, but for US:
Teddy supports "affordable" health care, except when it's his health, then it's spare no expense.
Teddy supports wind energy, except when it ever so slightly affects him.
Teddy supports the death tax, except when it's applied to the Kennedy family.
Teddy supports women, until they're in a upside down car drowning and it might embarrass him.
Not sure if socialized medicine is any worse for those without insurance in the current system. Given how retirement plans have gone out the window without even a whimper from the US public, I predict within 10 years healthcare plans will be a memory.
His brain has been addled by booze for so long that all he can do on his own is read speeches. His staff is running the show. As long as he can perform as Bernie (as in 'Weekend at Bernie's') he will stay in the Senate. I'm sher he could even get elected again, as long as he doesn't smell too bad at rallies.
This whole thing is easy. Simply give every American the same health care plan that members of the Senate have.
He can make a good start on the health plan by having a few needy families share his hospital room while receiving their care.
“The senator is trying to learn from health reform attempts in the past and to build a fair amount of consensus among his Senate colleagues, House colleagues, and the Obama campaign”
Working with Hussein Obama who is just a presumptive nominee at this point.
So close that he can't pronounce his name?
Good One! Did you draw that?
I’ll check it out, thanks. Big-Head Ted and Darlene are oddly forever intertwined in my mind,as I always remember she hated this swine with a passion, boy, especially once he declared war on smokers. He was probably her most hated politician.
