		<description>Teddy is incredible.  How many people would survive what he has in his life?  Yet Teddy still keeps coming.  His overwhelming concern is for us and he will fight for us as long as he can.  As he said health care is a right and not a privilege. With Teddy in the lead and with Obama in the White House maybe we will finally get what every other civilized nation has- health care for everyone.</description>

		<description>Brendan H, 

I don&#039;t disagree with your comments about the Bushes or McCain, but if you think the Kennedy&#039;s worked for what they have as opposed to the above mentioned people, you are kidding yourself.  They are a great family, but they earned their money the same way the Bushes did.  They stole it.  Grandpa Kennedy was a bootlegger for Godsake!</description>

		<description>Senator kennedy was asked by Senator Clinton to chair a subcommittee on working to provide universal healthcare for everyone.  He turned her down.  Lets see if he accomplishes this.  i don&#039;t believe he will.  All those years in Congress and he has very little to show for it.  Gosh, I can&#039;t believe how this election cycle has open my eyes to how our elected officials are really are.  Once, Senator Kennedy was a hero to me - no more.  I think Senator Clinton has learned by her mistakes of trying to bring universal healthcare to America in l990&#039;s and I believe she is the only one who could get it right.</description>

		<description>If we can fix our healthcare system, we will become more competitive globally. Every citizen should have some basic preventive health care. Beyond that, you and your employer can pay for it accordingly. Insurance companies should not be able to cherry pick their customers. The whole insurance idea is based on probability. There should be no picking in this industry.</description>

		<description>Okay, so there is way too much hate going on, whoa.  I am Canadian, we do have universal health care, and we pay higher taxes, but we are secure in knowing that if we are develop cancer for example, we don&#039;t have to worry about paying for the treatments etc., I am okay with paying higher taxes as I have had family members with serious illnesses, and they have had the best care....and yes there are waits, but my sister-in-law just had a CT scan and it happened two days after a visit to the doctor, where she complained of constant headaches.....so, perhaps more research by the people making these claims against our health care is in order.  I cannot believe the hostility, as Sarah Palin would say, Golly Gosh!!</description>

		<description>&#039;Paul&#039; is a fool.  No one supports abortion.  Most of us just think that a deeply &quot;personal&quot; decision for a woman is just that - none of your or my business.

To the guy who likes to shoot deer in Canada, I would very gladly be taxed more in the US to pay for health care.  It would be a lot cheaper than the foolish and wasteful so-called system of health care we have now, where sick poor people end up in emergency rooms, where corporations go bankrupt because they can&#039;t afford to compete due to their high health care costs, where doctors are incentivized to give treatments, rather than care, and their patients get only sicker.  I also don&#039;t rate a country by the size of its bloated military.  Canada is a country far superior in most measures to our much-declared &#039;best country in the world&#039;.

We&#039;ve allowed ourselves to become second rate by our obsession with our own greed.

Welcome back, Ted.  We need you.  Now give &#039;em Hell!</description>

		<description>I&#039;m a health care administrator and for those who think a &quot;universal&quot; type health plan is socialist, anti-Christian, unconstitutional, etc., think again.  Without some kind of fix that provides health care coverage to those who either don&#039;t qualify, can&#039;t afford, or have no access to coverage otherwise, those docs that you have the choice of seeing will be locking their doors. Physicians simply cannot provide free care to the indigent and uninsured who show up in ERs nationwide on a regular basis. Doctors will be employed by hospitals because they cannot afford to practice independently anymore.  If something isn&#039;t done to cover all the uninsureds who are draining our health care system, there won&#039;t be care for any of us.</description>

		<description>Let me see.....how many people have lost everything in the US because of their medical bills?  I ask you this, what is the point in being cured if you are just going to end up homeless and penniless?  The healthcare system in the US only works for those who can afford it, the upper 20% of the population that has laid waste to the other 80% of the population.  I applaud Senator Kennedy for making this his number 1 priority.
Yes here in Canada we have long wait lists due to not having enough doctors.  They all bailed on us to follow the American dream where they could get filthy rich off of other people&#039;s misery.  With any luck these will be the same doctors who are now losing everything in the stock market.  Universal Health Care works when you take greed out of the equation.</description>

		<description>Paul - 

The rules that you believe Ted Kennedy should live by are the creation of the Catholic Church, not God&#039;s creation.  If the Catholic Church wants to be so narrow minded, let them, it does not mean that everyone else has to follow.  There are a lot of things the Catholic Church supports or requires that are not biblical in the least and are not what God wishes for his children.</description>

There are a lot of things the Catholic Church supports or requires that are not biblical in the least and are not what God wishes for his children.</p>

		<description>Why does everyone on here have to spread such negativity and the random babble they heard on bias news shows? 

Do your own research and see the positives and negatives of universal healthcare and look into what Senator Kennedy actually wants to institute before babbling on here just to vent your own confusion and pent up anger.

As for me.. Thank you for all your service to our country and working to try to better people&#039;s circumstances. Welcome back Senator Kennedy. I hope you continue to feel well and that you have a full recovery!!</description>

		<description>Who is &quot;for&quot; abortion? What is the punishment you guys want for a woman who chooses to have an abortion--always a terrible outcome? The death penalty? It is murder, after all, isn&#039;t it? I have not heard an answer to that question from my Catholic colleagues.</description>

		<description>Rochelle - the nurse is coming by to give you your meds.

God does not &quot;get&quot; people.  He loves his children, even when they make mistakes.  He even loves them when they do not behave in Christian ways as taught by Christ.  For example, threatening people that God will get them is not living by the example Christ set.  Christ did not die on the cross so you can threaten people.  God is love, you need to learn that.</description>

		<description>Hey Frankie....I&#039;m not a conservative.  I&#039;m just someone who has traveled and has family in many European countries who suffer from ailments that aren&#039;t quite severe enough for them to merit immediate medical attention under the universal health care program.  

Before you start shooting your mouth off about people, countries and programs that you know nothing about, why don&#039;t you get your head  out of the liberal democratic sand pit that you&#039;ve buried it in and do some research, instead of repeating the rehetoric that is spoon fed you.</description>

		<description>So, Paul, let&#039;s see now, you won&#039;t support Kennedy or any other politician because they &quot;lie&quot;????
Gee, wasn&#039;t it tough to vote for McCain, knowing that he lied repeatedly to his loyal, disfigured wife while he was out cheating on her with Cindy and countless other bimbos?

Looks like you&#039;re the hypocrite, my friend.</description>

		<description>On Universal health care, relatives of ours in both England, and Ireland are very happy with universal health care and are in very good health.   We on the other hand find in our retirement that at times it takes three or more months to see a specialist in this country except when you are brought into the emergency room by  ambulance.  We are also very tired of seeing our hard earned money redistributed upward to the rich and greedy by Republicans in power.</description>

		<description>When DMD wrote; &quot;Medicare, Medicaid and Unemployment benefits are socialized programs that we do have in this country, and unfortunately we have a lot of people who abuse these systems off the hardworking taxpaying americans. So, stuff it!&quot; 

I am curious to learn what subsidies to FDIC, dairy farmers, fishery and bailouts of FDIC, Mortgage Companies, Investment Brokers, Banks, Airline Industry, is called? It&#039;s called socialism.

And oh, wait I hear Federal Government is debating bailing out automotive industry. 

The above is fiscal conservative list. As a libertarian I would add the US Military, military foreign add to countries like Israel ($5B) and others.</description>

		<description>Liberian-Canada in Toronto

It is laughable for a Canadian [with your weaker military, much younger, much weaker constitution, and more highly taxed peolple] to speak under the guise of advice toward your southern neighbor.  I&#039;m glad you are our ally, but just think before you type.

I do love coming to Canada and shooting those big Alberta deer.  My bad, you likely think this is barbaric.</description>

		<description>People must understand that HEALTH CARE is  a right for with little and those with much. Tell where the founding fathers disagree with that concept? To the conservative evangelicals: Why would Jesus oppose such concept? You hypocrites!!!!! You model your belief system after the greedy and ungodly and want to preach &quot;justice for all!&quot; There is a huge number of AMERICANS that DIE for they cannot afford health care, or are DROPPED off they policies for pre-existing conditions, or are denied treatment everyday. How AMERICAN is that? BTW, take time to go to Canada, France, England, Switzerland and other countries to analyze their health care systems first hand... Educate yourself by exploring a diverse number of sources and FIRST HAND experience. Many POLITICIANS make millions of dollars from &quot;private health care&quot; of course the thought of losing their &quot;sponsors&quot; will drive fear into their souls... Do you want to do something American? Help this country care for those who cannot care for themselves...</description>

		<description>Senator Kennedy may be long-serving, but he does not have my support or admiration:

Claims to be Catholic

Supports Abortion

Accepts the Eucharist

He cannot be true to his professed faith yet accepts the eucharist, fully knowing that he shouldn&#039;t because he is obstinate about his support for abortion which, by the act itself, excumminicates himself from the Catholic Church.  He should not be accepting the Eucharist and knows it.  He is living in a lie and knows it.  I would not support any politician who knows that he, himself is a liar.

I pray that he changes his will and supports the most innocent of human lives.</description>

		<description>The healthcare issue is not only ensuring that everyone in the USA has access to health insurance, it is also making sure that those who are covered receive the care they need and that mental health coverage is brought to par with physical health coverage.  So far, this is not happening and these two issues should be given as much consideration as providing every person access to medical coverage.  I trust that Mr. Kennedy  and the new administration will do their best to address this problem.</description>

		<description>I believe that it is time for the Senator to retire and let others carry the torch

I also believe that it is time to start putting &quot;Term Limits&quot; for the Senators for then the &quot;Special Interest groups&quot; will have less time to promote their own agenda..</description>

		<description>Jesse---- You cannot throw away all Senators because they become old. God willing, most of us will see long age. President Elect Obama is wise enough to know that senior Senator&#039;s have much to offer having learned through their years in government with failures and success. It&#039;s as if you were listening to grandparents give you the benefit of their experience in life. You make the decision, hopefully, merging various elements in your decisions. Besides, America needs to stop throwing away our senior citizens believing they donot know anything or haven&#039;t anything to give. President Elect Obama knows the final decision rest with him, but also knows the more infromation one has, the better the decision.</description>

		<description>Duuuh, ROSE, read David from NC&#039;s post before you start mouthing off.  He has actual experience, comparing his health care costs in Canada to those he incurs in NC.  

Oh, I forgot, you probably can&#039;t read very well....must be a product of all those social/education cuts ordered by your fellow conservatives who would much rather line their own pockets (can you spell W-A-L-L-S-T-R-E-E-T??) and fund military endeavors than put our tax money back into our domestic health and education programs.</description>
