Senator Kennedy is fighting for better health care coverage. Kennedys plan ties in with Senator Barrack Obamas plan also. Kennedys assumption for the out coming of the current election is also a factor. The plan he is working on slightly mirrors the plan from Massachusetts which they have been acting on since 2006. Simply, the main goal is to make health care more affordable. Although adults will NOT be forced to purchase coverage, all children will be required to be covered. Baucus said that there have been some turf battles and they are working hard to over come these, the fact that the economy is lagging in some areas is a major down fall to this. Kennedy had been fighting cancer and is working on this project from home. now, he is making more and more outgoings and doing a little better, he still keeps in constant contact with staff (etc) to prevent from dooming the health care plan from the start as is said of former president Clinton.
I think the health care plan of combined Kennedy and Obama makes quite a bit of sense. lowering the prices so it is more affordable, will help the average family and the fact that children will be covered is a great idea because childrens health and well-being is so important to our government. the fact the Kennedy has been ill with cancer and has been battling this from home WHILE still keeping up with his health care plans and still working very hard on the idea proves that this is a priority to him and he has put a great deal of thought into the process and the outcome of this. Although, the economy has been seeing major problems this may also play an important role in recovery for the economy as well! I think that this health care plan should be given a chance even under the current financial circumstances.
