Are any Democrats going to talk about universal health care

[Telly Savalas]

on the Sunday news shows tomorrow morning?

If not, then why not? Would the network security agents drag them off during the middle of the broadcast, take them into a back alley, and beat them up?

While it's nice to see them go on the offensive a bit, the only thing I saw about health-care at the WaPo was an ad next to the article for this website: http://covertheuninsured.org/

5. Ted Kennedy didn't talk about his Medicare For All plan on Larry King

LKL billed it as a rare opportunity to talk with Senator Kennedy. But I found nothing in the transcript where Ted mentioned it.

Rare opportunity indeed.

A Democratic Blueprint for America's Future
by US Senator Ted Kennedy
An Address by Senator Edward M. Kennedy at the National Press Club
January 12, 2005

Sadly, in America today, the miracles of modern medicine are too often the province only of the wealthy. We need a new guarantee for the years ahead that the cost of these life-saving treatments and cures will not be beyond the reach of the vast majority of the American people.

An essential part of our progressive vision is an America where no citizen of any age fears the cost of health care, and no employer refuses to create new jobs or cuts back on current jobs because of the high cost of providing health insurance.

The answer is Medicare, whose 40th birthday we will celebrate in July. I propose that as a 40th birthday gift to the American people, we expand Medicare over the next decade to cover every citizen - from birth to the end of life.

I can think of nothing more cynical or hypocritical than a Member of Congress who gives a speech denouncing health care for all, then goes to his doctor for a visit paid for by the Federal Employees Health Benefit Plan.

6. If they did

Somebody else would bitch that they weren't talking about Iraq. And if they talked about health care and Iraq, somebody else would bitch that they weren't talking about censure and impeachment. And if they talked about all of that, somebody would bitch because they were muddling the message.
