Senator Kennedy Speaks at Children's Health Insurance Rally

----- Kennedy the man ..... DENNIS KUCINICH president 2008 ,.... ALLLLLLL CHILDREN should be covered ..... IT IS outrage ....what is happening ....

america is just smoke screen money for weapons but not to look after their citizen what a shame

Awesome. The man. Go Kennedy.

Instead of our tax dollars going to $400 screwdrivers and wingnuts, let's have health care for all working Americans!

All you pro socialized health care people should take care of yourselves and stop looking for a handout.

to get health care--GET A JOB!!! You can choose where you work!!!  If the company doesn't have Health Care then MAKE YOURSELF more marketable, and get a job with a company that has health care! Don't steal anymore of MY!!!!!! MY!MY!MY! Money

"Members of Congress are risking health coverage for poor children purely to make a political point." "the measure is too costly, unacceptably raises taxes, extends government-covered insurance to children in families who can afford private coverage, and smacks of a move toward completely federalized health care."

If the Congress still wants it, they can over ride. That is how it works.

Um...$80,000 doesn't go very far in this economy any more. Out of that $80K very probably goes day care, gas expenses, food, mortgage or rent (rent is more expensive than a mortgage where I live), and so on. I don't think it's unreasonable to cover ONLY the children.

Children need health coverage! We must teach familys to eat correctly and try not to make them dependant on prescriptions! Congress needs to raise wages so people can eat better! Stop taxing people so heavily so they can support themselves! Stop spending so much money insuring the rich congressman, and pay attention to the poor! Stop spending money on the war!

the expantion of the program is for people who make 300% of poverty level ($80,000)per year,and for "children" to the age of 25.that is what was vetoed.any body with those 2 criteria are pathatic and criminal if they want the taxpayers to give them free health care
