Isn't it sad that Senator Ted Kennedy died before we got health care reform?

He fought so hard for it.

    He was not perfect. He had paid over and over for his indiscretions.

    May he rest in peace.

    Yes, it is sort of sad in one way. But there's a lot of people who won't feel that way. Ted Kennedy is hated by a lot of people that can't forget there was a murder on his conscience. If he had one. I know he worked very hard for health care reform, that has to be acknowledged.

    He would have died long before that.

    Obama's version of health care reform will never pass. This country doesnt want socialized medicine.

    RIP Senator

    Despite scarce heartfelt respect for the man, himself, my condolonces are extended to all who loved him.

    2 th'Q: Is it sad that he was taken before this system of payment for inept health-care was once again - pointlessly reshuffled?

    - well...

    the mans accomplishments and Failures easily overshadow any such incomplete debacle.

    IMHO

    Had JFK survived, we'd have see much finer tuning of governance.

    It is so sad, that I think the only way we can respect his goal is to let the health care plan be buried with him. Rest in peace, Ted and health care plan!

    It is sad when anyone passes.

    I have never agreed with the man but I hate to hear that he has passed

    I refuse to do like many will and bash him

    And before you liberals start saying how horrible the people who bash him are just remember how some of you actted when Reagan passed.

    No.

    He knew it would happen like this. That's why he was fighting against the law he'd pushed for in 2004.

    It is sad that Ted Kennedy has passed away.

    However the Obama so called health care plan is poorly written and badly flawed.

    Nope, its not sad. I see Teddy Kennedy and I see a wealthy and powerful man who got away with murder.

    At least Mary Jo Kopechene can finally rest in peace

    Death is never happy but this hopefully will rally the Democratic party to "Win one for the Gipper", so to speak.
