Majority Rule on Health Care Reform
New York Times
Published: August 29, 2009
From the page: "With the death of Senator Edward Kennedy, the Democrats do not have the votes just among their 57 members (and the two independents) to break a filibuster, and not all of these can be counted on to vote in lock step. If the Democrats want to enact health care reform this year, they appear to have little choice but to adopt a high-risk, go-it-alone, majority-rules strategy."

Ted Kennedy Legislative Accomplishments
Senator Stayed on the Forefront of Health Care Debate Despite His Absence From the Hill In Last Year
By HUMA KHAN and CAITLIN TAYLOR
Aug. 26, 2009
From the page: "Sen. Ted Kennedy's 46-year career in the Senate was marked by landmark legislations -- from health care to education and he made Congress his forum for achieving his policy goals."
Thank you and aloha, Senator Kennedy, you'll be sorely missed.

The Uninsured
Published: August 22, 2009
From the page: "Scores of well-designed studies have shown that uninsured people are more likely than insured people to die prematurely, to have their cancers diagnosed too late, or to die from heart failure, a heart attack, a stroke or a severe injury. The Institute of Medicine estimated in 2004 that perhaps 18,000 deaths a year among adults could be attributed to lack of insurance.
The oft-voiced suggestion that the uninsured can always go to an emergency room also badly misunderstands what is happening. By the time they do go, many of these people are much sicker than they would have been had insurance given them access to routine and preventive care. Emergency rooms are costly, and if uninsured patients cannot pay for their care, the hospital or the government ends up footing the bill."
