"It was 1969 when Senator Kennedy, recognizing the success of Medicare for senior citizens, first called for universal health care for all Americans. "We must begin to move now to establish a comprehensive national health insurance program, capable of bringing the same amount and high quality of health care to every man, woman, and child in the United States," Kennedy said at Boston University Medical Center on December 16, 1969.
Senator Kennedy has spent his public life fighting for comprehensive health care for all Americans. Over the decades, tens of millions have benefited from his sustained efforts."

MY COMMENT:
Unless I am mistaken
TODAY OCTOBER 1ST 2013
Will live as a day in history where the dream of Ted Kennedy was FINALLY REALIZED!!!
It took over 40 YEARS FOR THAT DREAM TO BE REALIZED!!!
WHAT IS AMAZING IS THAT IT TOOK A BLACK AMERICAN PRESIDENT
TO FINALLY GET IT DONE!!!!!
No matter how hard they tried, the whites couldn't do it!!
Whoah! That's something alright!!
The Republicans were so angry about it
they made certain the American government was shut down!!!!
I usually don't give a damn about the news,
but today...I have made an exception
for there should be certain days when I do make an exception and watch the news
and TODAY is American history in the making!
According to what I have studied
the Democrats have been fighting a hell of a long time
for what American President Obama accomplished today
it is indeed a day that will be remembering in history
for American President Obama
and a day of infamy for the rich white American Republicans
THEY are the "bad guys" in this matter
and there's no getting around it!!!
