Ted Kennedy Digs In On Health Care For All

| |

By Ethan Kalvin

Since 1962, U.S. Senator Edward Kennedy has held the chairmanship in the powerful Senate Judiciary Committee. But now theres a unique chance for the Senator from Massachusetts to make his stand in health care reform.

It seems that Democrats see the next two years in power as an open door to passing sweeping health reform. They've been dreaming about this for years and now seems to be the time. This is why Kennedy has decided to step down from the Judiciary Chairmanship to expend all his engergies as the Chairmanof the Senate Health, Education and Pensions Committee.

Thats why Kennedy has decided he'll step down from the Judiciary Chairmanship and concentrate all his energy as the chairman of the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee. "This is the opportunity of a lifetime, and I intend to make the most of it", said Senator Kennedy. Kennedys announcement really underscores that Congressional Democrats see the next two (and maybe more) years in power of Washington as a wide-open door to sweeping health reform in the way they've been dreaming about for decades.

A single-payer health care system may not be likely in the near future. But mandated health care and heavy regulation on health insurance companies is a likely product of the current rumblings in Congress.

Like we've said before, there's little or no chance of the United States ever switching to a single-payer health care system, but mandated health insurance and heavy regulation on health insurance companies is more likely then ever before.
