Kennedy has contributed more in his life than any (R) I can think of, and is needed now as well, to help get universal health care through.

The point is, the decision to waste medical resources shouldn't be up to the family. If they've got insurance, they certainly will, and if they don't they may go bankrupt.

I saw this happen with my own mother. Dying, months in the hospital, her end of life was a horrible torture of months of pain. None of us could take the doctors advice and let her pass. We should have.

The insurance covered it. But, how much did that raise YOUR premiums? No way her lifetime payments covered her last few months, or her two previous heart operations.
