I'm certainly glad "Ol Kennedy" is for the free-market health care system that made this possible. Oh wait, ... Can you do this in Canada?

“Sorry, Senator but your scheduled surgery won’t be until August 23rd.” ~ If universal health care were enacted.

Too bad the surgeon had to play from scribbled music.

"Sen. Ted Kennedy, newly diagnosed with a cancerous brain tumor, had searched the nation for the best neurosurgeon to remove the growth -- and he wanted Friedman."

Does Kennedy's adocated "free" health care system allow anyone to do what he just did?

There is not a doubt in my mind that the irony is completely lost on that socialist pantload Kennedy and his fellow Democrat “universal health care” scumbags.

Can you do this in Canada?

Sure. If you work here, that is.

It’s a smart doctor who avoids VIP patients.

With Democrat sponsored government health care, he would have had to wait twelve months and his surgeon would have been Cher.

Some celebrity. He’s a two bit serial cheater on his wife, that skated on manslaughter charges, and an ethics boot from the Senate of the United States.

If there were a picture of ‘white trash’ in the dictonary, this miscreant’s photo would be used.

It seems a shame to waste a Mozart-level brain surgeon on this type of brain:

Another gauge of the surgeon’s mastery would be if Teddy’s implausible liberalism were removed as well during the procedure.

Yep this is ironic isn’t it? One of the champions of socialized medicine is confronted with a health problem, and he searches for the best surgeon he can find. He exercises a free choice to search the nation for the top doctor he can find. We all would like to deal with our health issues as Sen. Kennedy just did. We don’t want to be straight jacketed into a socialized plan in which we don’t have our choices of how to proceed.

I don’t understand. Kennedy? The senator who demands national health coverage for the rest of us? Why didn’t he fly to England or Canada and get on the surgical waiting list of new doctors everyone in those countries has to use? This must be a mistake...
