The Ted Kennedy Affordable Health Choices Act
Sen. Robert Byrd has arguably the most obvious reaction to Ted Kennedy's death: Name the health-care bill in his memory. Given that his committee is one of the two that passed the bill, and that his staff took the lead role in crafting it, the move would be as much an accurate description as an honor.

teddy kennedy knew what a tough fight life could be, up until the last day.
for most people, life isnt easy or fair, victories are hard-won, and success is an uphill climb.
when this bill is completed, many people will be helped by it.
and i think kennedy would be very glad to have his name on it.

God, did Limbaugh call that one, or what?

It's curious that the galtard is just another Limbaugh parrot. What a demonstration of the self-realized objectivist way.

Shouldn't naming rights go to the highest bidder? It should be the UnitedHealth(TM) Affordable Health Choices Act*
*Actually it should be the Doctors and Dentists' Affordable Health Choices Act, but we've been scapegoating insurers all along so why stop now.
