Hospital and Health Information Center
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.

Healthcare SHOULD be UNIVERSAL and a RIGHT of every American. This is supposed to be the greatest country on earth. Let’s get this RIGHT. Whatever his failings, Kennedy spoke right about this issue.

this man should have learned about preventative medicine. way way way way way back in the day they believed that cancer was a death sentence, and this man took this belief for many years, and he turned the whole thing into a money thing. if every single diner in Boston and worcester MA. would serve wheat gluten steaks and smoked soy patties with their cabbage, potatoes, instead of corned beef every st. patty’s day with enough fruit and vegetables, this illnes would be eradicated by 2020.

this man was always getting drunk, and I believe it took a toll on his health, and all of this is really about guilt. Instead of all this drinking beer, and shots of brandy and rum and tequilla, he should have been drinking one glass of resveratrol red wine every night and then two cups of black coffee before driving

he wouldn’t have died of this brain cancer if he was taking his vitamins and minerals, his coQ10, his B12, his
omega 3, his vitamin E, and his vitamin C.

with O.J. it was in between capital murder and second degree murder, could go in either direction and he was aquitted. With Kennedy it was negligent vehicular manslaughter, two different charges.

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..

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.

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?

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.
