Of course, he gets the best medical care money can buy, can chose his own doctors and chose his own prompt treatment

The tax train wreck is gaining steam! The question becomes: will there be anyone working to pay the taxes they will demand to pay for healthcare? At the rate the dems are foaming at the mouth, there isn’t enough money on the planet to calm the taxing appetite of this bunch. Soon the world will cry ,”foul” and then O will turn us over the global government.

The Kennedy-McCain Universal Health Care bill will pass unanimously in memory of the Greatest Kennedy.

It will probably pass. We'll have single payer health care like in Canada before the year is out.

My question- Will the pols have to take the same plan? or do they get a different one. Just like their retirement.

[exist]

Hmmm will somebody put this guy in jail please. And if not in jail, surely he should be mocked and derided as a guy who didn't report somebody dying so he could hide the fact he was drunk and committing adultery, and not be treated as some elder statesman.

He's an elder adulterer/drunk.

[weegee]

Only if Ted Kennedy will live long enough to see it financially viable for 5 years.

Otherwise why should we suffer for Ted’s mistake? There is already one family that is doing that.

[utahagen]

Camp Obama may not want this to pass. The economy is so precarious right now that even Democratic-leaning people will wonder where we’ll get the money for Universal Healthcare. The better time for libs to bring this on would be during an economic boom, when very few people consider the cost of anything. (Of course, the Dems are trying to capitalize on Ted Kennedy’s illness — not being mean; just matter-of-fact) — so they’re pushing now. But I wouldn’t be surprised is Rahm Emmanuel instructs Obama to sabotage this effort.

[lilylangtree]

What a travesty? His last liberal elitist RAT action before kicking the bucket.

[YHAOS]

Do it for Teddy

[Just Lori]

He’s not gonna be here to see the mess he’s trying to create, either.

[AU72]

Well Teddy choked the US with his immigration act, it makes sense for him to put the coup-de-grace on the Health Industry as a curtain call.

[ArrogantBustard]

Hey Fat Drunk Ted!

How much "health care" did Mary Jo get?

[Paine in the Neck]

“I will do for health care what I did for immigration reform”...Ted Kennedy, malignant moron.

[Jacquerie]

No. Don't look for Hillary standing in line at the free clinic in Chappaqua. One system for the proletariat, one for party members, comrade. Oh, and our Scotus will find this commie system constitutional

[RightWhale]

will there be anyone working to pay the taxes

Sure, just deactivate the military. That would cover about half right there.

[Carley]

Hey Teddy.....announce all you want. Americans are going to buy into rationed health care, months long wait for a doctor’s appointment, and a system run by the same people who oversaw the banking, housing, and auto markets.

[Condor51]

There should be a law that no one with a Brain Tumor can serve in government or especially write any legislation. Brain Tumors can make people do irrational things, like going on Killing Sprees. (Charles Whitman had a brain tumor)

Another law is needed too. Nobody named Kennedy or with any Kennedy DNA can serve in government. They all have a habit of spending other peoples money.

[Carley]

Hey Teddy.....announce all you want. Americans are NOT going to buy into rationed health care, months long wait for a doctor’s appointment, and a system run by the same people who oversaw the banking, housing, and auto markets.
