"...My friends, if that health insurance is good enough for the members of the Congress of the United States and good enough for the President of the United States, it’s good enough for everybody in Montgomery County, everyone in Pennsylvania, and everyone across this country."
- Senator Ted Kennedy, Montgomery, Pennsylvania, April, 2008
What makes me so sad is that Senator Kennedy has been trying to accomplish this for the citizens of the United States for close to forty years! Do not underestimate the power of for-profit Corporate health care.
"I am proposing today a new national health strategy. It helps more people pay for care, but it also expands the supply of health services and makes them more efficient. It emphasizes keeping people well, not just making people well.The purpose of this program is simply this: I want America to have the finest healthcare in the world, and I want every American to be able to have that care when he needs it."
- Senator Ted Kennedy, 1971 newscast on CBS anchored by Walter Cronkite
