Thank you for this fine tribute. He is loved.
Yes, there IS a question that he was an eloquent champion that would bring quality healthcare for all! A very serious question! The ramifications of his thinking on healthcare reform are tremendously frightening! Everyone would not receive the quality care we now know, nor would the best available care be given in a timely &/or equitable way. I have relatives who are medical professionals in Canada and I have friends undergoing cancer treatment in Great Britain. I'm very well aware of how things are done in those countries and Americans do not want to go that route. The Ted Kennedy's of this world would have a certain quality of care for themselves, but would then determine what degree of "quality" care the rest of us could/should have and when we should have it. Don't assume we all agree about what Ted Kennedy stood for. There is, after all, the "controversy and legislative wrangling" going on for a reason - people do not want this type of plan imposed on them. They know a disaster when they see it.
