Why can't we all get KennedyCare?

Ted Kennedy & Congress are enjoying the Cadillacs of taxpayer-funded Health Care. But don't worry. When they start Universal Health Care--- they promise to give the rest of us Volkswagons...

[ken21]

he’s got the luck of a cat with 9 lives or bill clinton.

Kennedy got the best care possible. And I deserve the same.
Kennedy flew to North Carolina and saw one of the best surgeons in the USA. And I should see him too.
Kennedy became a patient at the Duke medical center and had an army of specialists address his needs. That's what I want.

And not just me. I think all 300 million Americans should get the top flight medical attention available at the Duke Medical Center. Kennedy got it. We all should get it.

Duke can hold us all, right?

[FFranco]

Even if he wasn’t a senator, he would get excellent care. He’s a millionaire.

If we were only so lucky: They get the Rolls-Royce of healthcare and we will get the used Yugo, (up on blocks, with no engine or transmission) of healthcare aka CubaCare. BTW, I have no dog in this fight, as I get "free" medical care from the Department of Veterans Affairs.

[count-your-change]

Kennedy can pay his own way so his health insurance is a non-issue, with or without insurance he’d get the same care.

[EagleUSA]

Yes, the Congress and the other parasites on American society, take real good care of themselves AT OUR EXPENSE and the bonus of NO ACCOUNTABILITY.

Gee, I wish my job was that good!!!

[Las Vegas Ron]

Not only that...he flew home in a private jet!

You have lots of free time, and read lots of books, obviously.

Seriously, thank you for your service.

I can't do any more hurry up and wait. One day the kids will stop by and realize the cats REALLY need cat food. And it won't be my problem anymore.

Among the things that we “common folk” (meaning slobs who actually work for a living) can be sure of under OsamaCare is that we'll never find ourselves sitting in the same doctor's waiting room as a member of the “progressive” elite and that we'll never be on the same waiting list for a hip replacement,an appointment to see an oncologist or for an opportunity to receive a lung transplant as are the “progressive” elite.

"Gee, I wish my job was that good!!!"

Hell, I'd be happy with they're retirement plan

“All animals are equal — but some animals are more equal than others”...

Pigs were the superior animals....and Kennedy clearly is a pig of great size and stature.

[taraytarah]

I still think he’s lucky they didn’t do partial-birth-abortion-type brain “surgery” on him; the kind he supports.

Dear socialistworker..org,

Go to Cuba. They will give you everything Senator Kennedy got. I promise.

[ldish]

But I bet he didn’t...not a cent of it!

Interesting to note that a Canadian Liberal MP recently sought her cancer treatment in the US rather than in Canada.

[skinkinthegrass]

....and he never held a "real job" in the private sector....
.Joe Kennedy comment about MA Fed. Senate Seat:
"Look, I paid for it," Joe explained. "It belongs in the family."....
and now we have to pay for his expensive (very liberal) health care.

while a WA. State Elderly Lady (w/ cancer) is told, she can't have "cancer treatment(s)"...BUT she can take advantage of their NEW "Doctor-assisted state suicide" health plan.

[smithone]

Nonsense, he received top-notch care because he is a U.S. Senator, not because he's a millionaire.

[Ann Archy]

If he had National Hillary Care, he would NOT get any operation...he would eb sent home to die.
