KENNEDY'S DEATH AND U.S. HEALTHCARE

You have writen a very thoughtful piece. However, Kennedy's death cannot be blamed on our health care system. The Left can't use his death to shame our system by claiming that it failed him. If it weren't for the current system and the quality treatment he received it is likely that Kennedy would have died much sooner-shortly after his first attack-not living to see Obama become President.

No Blame At All

On the contrary, it wasn't my intention to blame the health care system for Teddy's death. If anything our system of health care probably extended his life at least a year.

When others especially in other countries, would probably have died within months of such a diagnosis.

No......my point was and is that they will use his death and Obama's health care proposals as a way to supposedly "pay tribute to Teddy Kennedy."

And the people of America should not be lulled into this trap.
