Kennedy Makes Last Push for National Health Care

[wyldwolf]

Sen. Ted Kennedy (D-MA), battling a deadly brain tumor, is "moving fast to align the U.S. Congress and special interest groups behind a comprehensive health-care plan that Barack Obama can support soon after he takes office," Bloomberg reports.

"Whatever the final plan may look like, people involved in forming it say Kennedy is the glue holding together an often- quarrelsome group of special interests."

Said Adam Clymer, the author of an excellent biography on Kennedy: "This has been the cause of Kennedy's life, and it's clear he sees this as a great opportunity."

Good luck, Ted! It was squabbling special interests that ultimately did in the Clinton plan.

Not to mention the impact it will have on saving our economy.

Here's to you Ted!
