>> and it was the Republicans who proposed universal health care.

And it was Teddy Kennedy and his merry band of liberals who killed that proposal.

Proving yet again how backwards these Democrats really are.

Kennedy came close to backing Nixon’s plan, but turned away at the last minute, under pressure from the unions. Then Watergate hit and took Nixon down. Kennedy said later that walking away from that deal was one of the biggest mistakes of his life.
