I don't agree with Kennedy's politics, but in the big scheme of things we probably have more in common as 'humans' than we have differences.Camilla Millarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01726150518719814823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4949291231266460220.post-44403236389194455522009-08-27T13:34:43.154-06:002009-08-27T13:34:43.154-06:00i suck! i still haven't posted my book review....i suck! i still haven't posted my book review. it's coming!Emhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11555733621307512935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4949291231266460220.post-61653718931077039702009-08-27T12:11:26.435-06:002009-08-27T12:11:26.435-06:00I ran into your blog today and I enjoyed reading t...I ran into your blog today and I enjoyed reading this post. I didn't always agree with Senator Kennedy but I also don't agree with many Republicans.<br /> <br />One thing I do like about the Kennedys is that they champion the poor. One of the Kennedy kids has an organization that helps the elderly with their oil heating in the cold winters of the NE. Heating is very expensive out here and John Jr. gave huge amounts of money toward education to help kids out of poverty. <br /><br />I do think the healthcare system needs an overhaul to keep the big business of insurance in line. A public option is necessary. If the Republicans force the administration to drop it, we could have a mandate on health insurance, making the insurance companies very happy and more rich, which in turn, makes it look like the Republicans are siding with insurance companies again. <br /><br />That would be bad for everyone else. Kind of like how you'll be fined for not having car insurance. Without a public option it would be a mandate, and waht if you could be fined for not having healthcare- Just like car insurance. Scary. <br /><br />I had the unfortunate experience of sitting in on meetings where I saw the ugly side of healthcare. I also like politics - so sorry for the long post!
