Ted Kennedy on Why We Need National Health Care Reform

From the great Journalists at DemocracyNow.org, some clips of the Late Senator Edward M. Kennedy making the MORAL Case for why the US MUST enact a National Health Care for all citizens-- regardless of ability to pay. Kennedy makes the case for National Health Insurance for every citizen at about 5:09 minutes and 5:52 mins into this clip.

This clip from Democracy Now (Aug 27,2009) features comments from President Obama, VP Joseph Biden on the Senator's passing (8/25/09). Also highlights Cronkite interview with former Pres. Nixon & a much younger Kennedy in 1971 discussing health care reform. (Nixon is heard on tapes talking about how HMOs would help private insurance turn into profit machines. Nixon's assist to private Insurance helped pave the way for the greed and excess profits Insurance companies now make in the US' PAY OR DIE system of health care denial.)

If you fascist nazi Republicants continue to make hateful, lie-filled comments, expect to be banned, blocked and other wise ridiculed for your stupidity.
