Senate Lion Ted Kennedy Roars Once More for National Health Care | Political News - FOXNews.com For more than four decades, Ted Kennedy has built a reputation as a "lion of the Senate" with all of his legislative accomplishments. But there's one noteworthy feather missing from his legislative cap: national health care.
In the twilight of his career and battling brain cancer, the Massachusetts Democrat now is making what could turn out to be his final push to get health care legislation across the finish line. "He obviously sees this as the crowning achievement of his career," said Tom Mann, a congressional scholar at Brookings Institution. "But there's a lot of uncertainty as to whether anything substantial will pass this year."
In the coming months, Kennedy's committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions is expected to help craft legislation to expand health insurance coverage.
Joining Kennedy in his effort will be former Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle, whom President-elect Barack Obama nominated to be secretary of health and human services.

Oy!
Retire already
F**k you, Ted. We don’t want your socialized healthcare. If socialized healthcare existed in this country, you would be dead long ago.
Actually, rich aristocrats like himself would probably get the best, private, treatment, while us peasants would be stuck with a government run bureaucrat-governed system.
Eat s**t, Teddy.
“But there’s a lot of uncertainty as to whether anything substantial will pass this year.”
No sh*t.
That wasn’t a roar, it was a fart!
Good for him.
Disaster for the rest of us though...
teddy, go away.
Lemme guess - - this fat drunken pig Ted Kennedy is willing to get in line with butchers, bakers, candlestick makers and the homeless for the very best brain surgeon the government can buy....
Right.
So will Caroline be the tart or airhead of the Senate?
I like your tone. It is about time!
Poster Boy for what is wrong with our political system.
Just think of the tremendous amount of damage this one ultra-lefty has done to the country.
Without his push to change the immigration system we would have many millions fewer legals and illegals receiving taxpayer funded welfare, food stamps, health care and 10 or 20 million fewer to vote democrat.
Think about how many cities have been turned into cess pits because of his liberal policies and promotion of victimhood.
He has probably done more than any one other person to destroy America.
That is the Kennedy Legacy.
My sentiments exactly. I just wish I knew some more four-letter words for the Champion of All Baby-Murderers.
"If I'd gone off that bridge, I think,
I'd write these verses in the Clink."
(So would all of us.)
Teddy, you shameless (not safe for work), in the next life, you will meet Mary Jo, and she will ask you one thing: "Why?"
Socialized medicine for the “little people”
Pooled tumor boards from the entire East Coast for Senators.
He wants bad health care for the population; while only a select few rate good health care.
More like a juicy beer fart than a roar.
