Ted Kennedy wanted Universal Health Care.

Gentle readers of this American Chronicle, Edward "Ted" Kennedy wanted Universal Health Care for the citizens of the United States. Will he get it? That remains up to the citizens of the United States and how much influence they can exert over corporate controlled U.S. Senators within both political parties....>

We will miss Senator Ted Kennedy as a nation, and I will miss him as a human being.
Over the next few months, as we debate his life's passion, which was Universal Healthcare, we will feel his presence everywhere. He will be in the Senate Chamber, in the committee rooms, in the White House, and in the minds of most of the reporters old enough to have witnessed the trajectory of this extraordinary generation of America's First Family from it's beginning.
Much has been written about Ted Kennedy already. He was indeed extraordinary. My mother, who was a solid Upper East Side Republican until 2004, once happened to sit next to him at a wedding of a mutual friend. She had never met him before. I'm sure the exchange was lively, and being a Dean, I doubt my mother gave him much quarter. A week later, a beautiful, kind, and very personal handwritten letter arrived from Ted Kennedy. My mother, like so many other Americans, was hooked by the Kennedy charm and grace.
Ted Kennedy was a man with a long career of determination as well as charm. When President Obama signs a healthcare reform bill late this year, Ted Kennedy may not be standing there next to him, but his presence will be deeply apparent in the Oval Office as the President's pen moves across the page.
The Kennedy family has set up a page for us all to share our memories in Senator Kennedy's honor. Let's join them in celebrating the life and work of a true American hero.
