Senator Ted Kennedy Is Poised To Work On Health Care Reform

As the Boston Globe reports, Senator Kennedy has been a strong supporter of universal health care. And now Kennedy ' s vision is more likely to come to fruition, since the Democrats hold a commanding control in the Senate, the Castle of Representatives, and the Snowy Mansion.
Kennedy has chosen to step down as chair of the Bench Committee to corral all his energies as chair of the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee. He feels this is the opportunity of a lifettime and now that the Democrats have skill positions in the Home plate, Senate and Neutral Flat, the next two years may likely see some significant health care reforms.
Thats why Kennedy has decided he ' ll step down from the Assessor Chairmanship and cluster all his energy as the chairman of the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee. " This is the opportunity of a year, and I intend to make the most of it ", said Senator Kennedy. Kennedys word really underscores that Congressional Democrats see the next two ( and maybe more ) years in power of Washington as a unfathomable - open door to super health reform in the way they ' ve been dreaming about for decades.
A single - payer health care system may not be likely in the near future. But mandated health care and massive regulation on health insurance companies is a likely product of the current rumblings in Congress.
Mandated health insurance and massive regulation on insurance companies is more likely than ever before. However, as we ' ve oral before, there ' s a inferior chance of a single - payer system coming to fruition.
