News – Senator Kennedy, his wife, Victoria and their dogs, Splash and Sunny back on land after sailing on their sailboat, Mya at the Hyannis Port Yacht Club.
Funny, when you think about it. When he needed help millions were spent to fly him to two hospitals. Had the very best care. Now we're all supposed to feel sorry for him. Wouldn't it have been nice if Mary Jo Kopechne had the same care...
How naive you are, jordan11!!!!
Do you actually believe that government-run, government-administered health care would provide us all with the best care????
Not a chance!!! Look at Canada, England and others--government-run care is not even close to being on a par with what our (admittedly screwed-up) health delivery system provides.
For a more realistic scenario, the next time you go to renew your driver's license, or visit the assessor's office to challenge your property appraisal, just imagine you are at the ER, with a need for some of that "best care."
There's your true scenario for "best care!!!"
DUH!!!
Actually, I'd have to ask how naive YOU are. If insurance companies didn't have pools, few would get the best care. With a pool, you have those in poor health, those in fair health, and those in good health. It balances out. One problem is that insurance companies have profit as their #1 motivation. Consequently, care is often denied for profit. Or those in poor health are denied coverage for profit. Or those in fair health are denied coverage for profit. The ONLY way that good health care will be obtainable for all citizens is through a non profit pool. DUH.
i dont wish ill of anyone..but i dont know the kennedys personally and could care less about his condition..we all have tragedy intrude into our lives..and none of us gets of here alive--i have far more compassion for the millions in myanmarr and china..that truly is suffering and a human tragedy--what i am hopeful for is that the monstrous negative effect TK has had on this country will hopefully end..but probably not..in truly bad taste ,the kennedy clan is already lining up to see how to make the most of this and who his successor might be..i think his bride is the current front runner with the sympathy vote..or RFK jr..either one would be a continuing liberal disaster..but less influential at any rate
they are political animals..its been widely reported how the clan is planning to make use of this..it shouldnt be a shock or surprise to anyone...i dont have inside information..but why does it seem unusual that a family like this isnt using the tools they have at hand...that may seem cold..but its who they are

"Hours out of the hospital, US Senator Edward M. Kennedy sought refuge this afternoon in the serenity of Nantucket Sound, taking his 50-foot schooner on a two-hour sail.
"It was wonderful to be on the water," Kennedy said, shuffling off a dock after his return. "It's all it takes."
This story did my heart good.
