Yes, he was FOR health care. Health care controlled by the government. I do not want the government controlling my health care. The government does not do anything well. I do not want some bureaucrat telling me what kind of care I want. There is no twisting. Kennedy wanted SOCIALISM. The people told how to live by the government. I live by my favorite saying... Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime. NO where in the constitution does it say that we are guaranteed a fair life. Some of us will be luckier than others. HELL look at Ted. He was rich and got away with murder, rape and alchoholism. The Idiot Catholic Church annulled his first marriage, on the grounds he was not in love??? How many kids did he have? Kennedy was a male slut.
