The November 18, 2008 Washington Post reports that Senator Ted Kennedy will be proposing his own form of "universal health care" soon.
The Wall Street Journal also notes that some observers expect that the current financial crisis "will be a big barrier" to any such plans -- a slender silver lining to the economic mess.
And this may be a good time to also revisit Dr. Richard Parker's essay, "Ted Kennedy vs. Universal Healthcare: A Double Irony".
