Senator Ted Kennedy (D-MA), joined by approximately one hundred disabled citizens in the upper Senate Park, insists that the current Senate bill, entitled the Health Insurance Marketplace Modernization & Affordability Act (S.1955) only rewards insurance and drug companies at the expense of state healthcare initiatives.
Kennedy says that this legislation would undermine current state legislation and that Americans should oppose this bill and tell the insurance companies to "take your hands off our healthcare system". (1:04)
