What I will sign is a petition to name it after him only if it is a bill he would approve of. If it is a bill that makes more money for the insurance companies by allowing them to cover less and less of our health care costs then I would rather they name it after Mike Enzi. If it is one that includes a public option with no means testing for availability, and one that scares the shit out of the insurance companies, then I will sign this petition.
Oh, just go sign the petition, Mike…. (Jeesh…) It’s totally symbolic.
I signed. Since I live in Massachusetts, I also signed to allow a temporary appointment to replace him.
Sign it, then use the bill’s name to shame the politicians who don’t want effective change.
Ted Kennedy’s health care past allowed for transplant industry to become horridly powerful – now the industry can trump a patients advance directive! What I want to know – was he signed up to a an organ donor? Did he become an organ donor or was he used for research/education??? He pushed laws for everyone else to become organ donors. Let’s not make special and new rules for special people for special circumstances. A bill that becomes law that destroys peoples lives can not be made on an emotional moment.
My understanding is that Ted was an organ donor.
Organ donor trolling? Wow, you get all kinds here, Greg. I signed, btw. The more I hear about Sen. Kennedy, the more I wish I had known him.
That it is symbolic is all the more reason not to sign it. I am not alone in this (and I am not referring to Rush Limbo.)
