Ted Kennedy determined to fight cancer, “because he wants to continue to fight for the people of Massachusetts”
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) said at a news conference regarding Senator Ted Kennedy’s (D-Mass.) health that “at times like this we realize the Senate really is a family,” and that as a family the Senate is tremendously concerned for Kennedy. He said Kennedy is a model of public service, an American icon, and a fighter, and that he is confident in Kennedy’s recovery. He said he talked to Kennedy’s wife, and that she said Kennedy is in good spirits.
Senator John Kerry (D-Mass.), who Reid referred to as Kennedy’s best friend in the Senate, said that Kennedy has a big heart and is an unbelievable fighter, and has helped millions of people many ways. He said everyone needs to pull for him and his family, but respect their privacy. He said Kennedy is drawing strength from his wife, his children, and his extended family, and is determined to fight this so he can continue fighting for the people of Massachusetts and for what he believes in.

Would Edward Kennedy’s ADVANCED BRAIN cancer treatment be allowed by the British Health System? My buddy in the National Health Service says probably not.
Given his age and advanced cancer, I’ll bet the socialized medicine machine certainly would not have paid for that $10000 helicopter ride that Mr. Kennedy got from his private island paradise to the hospital.
Let’s let Ted go over to Great Britain to have the doctors at the National Health Service treat his cancer.
Of course, I would think that he’d be denied cancer therapy as Ann Marie Rogers (a breast cancer patient) was denied an anticancer drug by the British court. Too bad she was not allowed to buy private health insurance by the socialized medicine folks in England.
Sorry, Ted, no cancer treatment for you. Health care rationing, you know. Just read the fine print in Mr. Obama’s health plan. It will all be clear then.
Also, Ted Kennedy is going to have to eventually answer for Mary Jo Kopechne, in this life or after. Ted, it’s getting about time to fess up to your past.
