Indeed so, all major health care bills that has benefited me recently are largely due to Ted Kennedy and his fellow legislators.
Without COBRA and HIPAA it would be very difficult for a private individual to get insurance.
The Mental Health Parity Act has many flaws in it -- it will need to be improved by those who can manage to fall in the footsteps of such an honoured individual.
His family has had much sadness and flaws, but the good cannot be forgotten.
May his surviving family be in our thoughts and may some form of gaps provided in health care in this country for all those suffering, not just those mentally ill who have a stigma in society, but all those who need even the basic necessities.
