Ted Kennedy on Health Care
Senator Edward Kennedy speaks passionately about trying to get health care reform passed during his career. In this video he talks about his own family’s struggles in the past with sickness and injury, and now he faces a battle of his own with cancer.
I’m so happy your DEAD TED!!!!!
guess what, most employers are going to drop coverage next year because of this. why should they cover employees if they see the gov is going to. duh, my wifes company has already told them they are dropping healthcare as of jan 1st because of all of this. we are fools to think gov can do anything but f it up. many of the companies here are already planning to drop insurance or reduce it drastically. great christmas present you retards in washington. oh yes you guys are not on this plan cowards
THE current bill is not the answer ,,,does not address proper Tort Reform, “undocumented” access for expensive non-life threatening HC , & does not provide MOST IMPORTANTLY an OPT OUT Provision for those that believe it is still too bloated with waste & inefficiencies resulting in inflated premiums not in keeping with services provided.
….A mandate stuffed inside a trojan horse bill for HC is a skunk in the road…too stupid to debate…
REPEAL the BIll nobody ever wanted..
REPEAL the TAX & JAIL mandate bill nobody ever wanted..
& send it back to “real” senators next time for a do-over with an OPT-OUT provision..
Hey Wake up!
A STRUGGLING mom, dad, two kids…WILL SHELL OUT TO OBAMACARE’—-”"‘DONATION”" for HC $16,000/Year—or equal to BRANDY NEW LOADED TOYOTA YARIS each year–out the window..
Get ready to exodus the country during the REPEAL process will take 5 years to complete worst case scenario..
Good luck..
Kill the 3000 pg Illegal HC Trojan Horse Mandate Bill nobody wants..
KIll the pile of crap bill..That contain NOTHING ABOUT Health Care.!!
Kill the Bill..
Vote em out..
Nobody wants it..
go drive off a bridge since you think its such a fun thing to do, yeah, he did it for the lols, retard.
whats this about jerking off in front of a mirror while slapping and choking yourself , did I interrupt you?
Ha Ha your a fuckin puppet..Go jerk off and hang yourself.. I’ve got shit to do.Go get the facts do a llittle research than you’ll know what a fucktard you sound like.Then go find a mirror..stand in front of it and slap yourself in the face…now, see how stupid you look…that’s how it would be if i was standing in front of you.
That? well shit, I didnt think I could think any more poorly of you, but here we are. accidentally killing one of your friends (almost killing yourself in the process) is bad enough, I doubt you would say the same thing in real life: internet tough guy.
He killed someone you dipshit. And if you defend him your too fucked up for me to deal with. I might as well go talk to the wall.Ted Kennedy has killed a woman in 1969 drove his car off a bridge and the woman drowned .And he got away with it.Like O.J. accept he was just a drunk with a little bit of power.
Im pretty sure you’re a degenerate retard.
I’m pretty sure he went to hell.
Ted Kennedy was the real maverick of the Senate, not that goon McCain…
Quixote1818: WWJD? He would stand up and turn over the tables on these government officials, who are usurping authority the Constitution never intended them to have…..
You are required to have auto insurance and that wasn’t in the constitution. There are a lot of things we have today that were not in the constitution. The constitution does allow for HC for all if congress votes it in. It’s simply the right thing to do. WWJD?
Lol a guy with the mark of the best talking about right vs wrong morality.
Hilarious.
That means they shouldn’t be killed, they shouldn’t be enslaved, and they should be allowed to lead their own life style.
So, what are you on about?
The confusion here stems from two very different concepts, positive rights and negative rights. Our Constitution generally protects negative rights. It prevents you from being harmed (by the gov’t) when you try to attain something for yourself. A positive right would be something that must be provided to you. In our system, those are limited to the aspects of due process afforded to someone the state is seeking to deprive of life or liberty – trial by jury, counsel, speedy trial, etc…
On the right to health care, it may not be in the constitution as clearly as you’d like it, but the United States Declaration of Independence, which was adopted by the Second Continental Congress on July 4, 1776, reads:
We hold these Truths to be self-evident, that all Men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.
Everyone doesn’t have a RIGHT to healthcare….where is that right in our Constitution…? Where and when did our Founding Fathers even remotely address this right to healthcare? i missed it….
Wow, I dont like Democrats or liberals either. But he is right in saying everyone has the right to health care. And calling him a commie, and a fat pig, just makes people like you look like the enemy.
Now what you should have said is. “I disagree with this man, People should earn there health care, support there own family’s and lives. Because no man should have to pay his government to take care of his neighbors”
Signing out, Im Zack, good night folks.
What a fat, liberal pig! Thanks for harming my country, you commie!
So conservatives accuse us of being Nazis trying to euthanize people. However, they then turn around and deny people medical aid because they are “lazy” or whatever mastubatory excuse they think up. Hmmm kind of sounds like killing off undesirables to me…
The fact of the matter is that people who need healthcare either aren’t covered, or their coverage is more or less USELESS (aka a fraud). This is a RIGHT vs. WRONG issue period.
No one denies that some people have problems accessing health care in the US. The problem is how to solve the problem. Kennedy believed that this problem (as just about every problem he ever encountered except a certain car accident) required greater government involvement. Many others believe just the opposite.
Points taken and agreed. However the elephant in the room remains access to health care. Surely America is not such a selfish country that it believes those without money deserve to die sooner than those with money. Millions are without insurance and these “poor” are not just the “street drunks”. More often they are the working poor, people who, perhaps uneducated, are hard working, work two jobs to get by and often go to the grave before their time. They deserve better.
