Ted Kennedy Digs In On Health Care For All

By Ethan Kalvin

Now that Democrats hold a commanding lead in the House of Representatives, the Senate, and the White House, Senator Kennedy's life long support for universal health care is more likely to come to fruition.

For most of Kennedy's career, he has been a strong supporter of universal health care/universal health insurance, reports the Boston Globe. And with Democrats holding overwhelming control in the U.S. House of Representatives, the Senate, and the White House, health care reform in Kennedy's vision is more than likely.

Strong movement toward universal health care and heavy regulations for the health care industry are some of the initiatives we are likely to see coming up. And a never-before-seen effort to sway public opinion regarding health care will likely be upon us very soon.

The current mindset of the voters is clearly calling for some sort of health care reform. Maybe we won't see universal single-payer health care soon, but an intense effort to regulate insurance companies is clearly on the agenda.

As has been said, there's little chance for single-payer coverage to come to fruition, but the general consensus is that mandated health insurance and heavy insurance company regulation will likely be the issue of the day in the near future.
