E-mail a friendSerious Doubts on Healthcare
Sen. Ted Kennedy, seen here with President Obama, was a staunch supporter of U.S. healthcare reform for several decades.
Will 2009 be a no-win for America's healthcare system?
With the recent passing of Massachusetts Sen. Ted Kennedy, many questions have returned to the issue of whether or not healthcare reform in America will be achieved.
Despite many efforts by the Obama administration, support for the bill seems to be wavering.
Chris Mathews of MSNBC made the remark on the television program Morning Meeting recently that there hasn't been anyone around to truly articulate the new healthcare plan. He also noted that no one has spoken about where the money for new doctors and nurses would come from in order to help provide care for the nearly 40+ million new patients that would be added to the system.
With the passing of Kennedy, and no clear direction from the White House on the details of a true healthcare plan, does it seem likely that reform in America will be achieved?
