Are you denying that Steele and others claimed that if health care reform had passed that Kennedy would not have been able to try some of the procedures that he tried? I don't know if Steele said it but I do think it is likely true that Kennedy had access to treatments that would not be available to the ordinary person under Obamacare. You really don't get it. For many people in this country, some health care is better than none at all. And health insurance companies turn down requests for treatment by their clients all the time. If Kennedy had access to treatments beyond the norm, its probably because he was rich and powerful. That would be true no matter what the health care policies are in this country. Bottom line: this country is getting health care reform whether you like it or not.

"I don't know if Steele said it but I do think it is likely true that Kennedy had access to treatments that would not be available to the ordinary person under Obamacare." You believe a lot of things that have no basis in reality. But, what the heck. Try to defend this. "I believe it is clear that under Obamacare, to "save money", you have to cut treatments." Again, your beliefs are usually not based in fact. Defend this. "I don't listen to Limbaugh but he is an entertainer, not a news source." Maybe not. But you wind up spouting his talking points. Odd coincidence or...? "No speculation. We know Kennedy favored socialized medicine." Your point? "It is precisely what the Ds did." Some did. As have you and others. It was hardly restricted to the Democrats as you are pretending.
