Ted Kennedy To Lead Renewed Universal Health Care Effort

Boston Globe:

Senator Edward M. Kennedy's office has begun convening a series of meetings involving a wide array of healthcare specialists to begin laying the groundwork for a new attempt to provide universal healthcare, according to participants.

The discussions signal that Kennedy, who instructed aides to begin holding the meetings while he is in Massachusetts undergoing treatment for brain cancer, intends to work vigorously to build bipartisan support for a major healthcare initiative when he returns to Washington in the fall.

Those involved in the discussions said Kennedy believes it is extremely important to move as quickly as possible on overhauling the healthcare system after the next president takes office in January in order to capitalize on the momentum behind a new administration.

Welcome back, Teddy Kennedy! We have missed you. Obama needs help and we know you can provide it. Don't be doing too much now but even your presence is a great boost. Thank you!

The drunkard's back!

Maybe he should go green, and switch to ethanol.

Liberals just don't want to admit he needs to be replaced.

The 39th anniversary is two weeks away. Remember 1969!

How clever, now crawl back under the rock you came from.

First order of business should be a sit down with our nominee. He's so far off track that he's spinning in circles. He needs some advice that is not coming from the C*l in tons. Their agenda, you know, is not his election in November.

[PATina]

I agree.

[Mygirl]

I am glad to know that he is back. God Bless.

I think Ted's 1965 immigration law was a catastrophe for the Country, but I have to give him credit for having the guts to vote against the Iraq invasion, a true patriot.

Welcome back, Senator. You look good! Now can you please give your buddy, BO, a good talking to? His taking to the right is about to ruin everything.
