Max Allen, Sen. Ted Kennedy's grandson: The cause of his life was to see every American have "decent, quality health care as a fundamental right and not a privilege."

I guess he never took the time to understand what a right logically is and why healthcare can never be one.
The true statement would be that Ted saw abortion as a fundamental right. He knows how very wrong he was by now.
Cue violins and trumpets...
Apparently Ted Kennedy thought all sorts of things were fundamental rights (for him!) that are not so. I think they call these sorts unprincipled, self serving assh-les.
How about Mary Jo Kopechne’s fundamental “right” to health care?
No one was responsible for denying her that “right” except Ted Kennedy.
Don’t you love it when rich liberals take up causes to spend OUR money so THEY feel less guilty?
Hope he gets a chance to meet the souls of all the aborted in America. Although I am sure God has a plan. I default to His great wonder and solution on this. I am sure it is a trillion times better than my punishment. May he be greeted by each child individually through the end of time.
My cardiologist is a senior cardiologist on the staff of two of the finest hospitals in the world (one is a pediatric hospital,so....).My plan covered me,with a small deductible (which I *chose*) for a recent hip replacement done by a senior surgeon at another one of the finest hospitals in the world.The *total* waiting time for that surgery (first call for an appointment with the surgeon to admission to the recovery room) was about 6 weeks.If I ever develop cancer,for example,my plan allows me to go to what is widely considered to be the finest cancer facility in the world.
No 18 month waits for a hip replacement like in Canada or Britain.No 6 month waits for heart surgery like in Canada or Britain.And no 3 month waits to see a cancer specialist like in Canada or Britain.
I assume that my plan isn't *perfect* but I'm completely satisfied with it.I know that I have a plan that only the rich or powerful have access to in Canada or Britain.
The Deathcare tag line should be, "Let us determine whether you live or die."
Cause Of Kennedy’s Life Was To See Health Care As “Fundamental Right”
***Then I suppose the Cause of Kennedy’s Death Was Failure To See Killing Babies as “Fundamentally Wrong”.
That is the same sentiment I had about the murderer Tiller. Each life he took, he should be held accountable for, by the giver of life, Almightly God.
Trot out the corpse so we can use it to finish legislating socialism in America.
These people are beyond disgusting.
WWII veteran, having served 20 years in the U.S. Navy, William M Garvin, Gator113’s grandfather would have said: The cause of his life was to see every American live in freedom.
The last time Health Care was a fundamental right was just before Adam bit the apple. After that it became a privilege.
She lost the right to life.
I thought Kennedy’s wish for America was a chicken in every pot and a six-pack in everyone’s fridge.
Ted Kennedy’s dreams were/are a Free America’s nightmares.
Funny thing, the record of Ted Kennedy’s life shows a much greater dedication to alcohol, promiscuity, and boorish conduct.
