Because he is rich enough to bring doctors to him from anywhere in the world. Duh. Are you under the impression that the purpose of the health care proposals is to improve health care for people who are already as rich as Ted Kennedy? Really?
2 :
We're ranked so low because so many people can not AFFORD the health care. Try again.
3 :
Who cares, I just want to hear of his fat drunk self finally going to burn in hell with his gangster dad.
4 :
he drinks to much and is too old. they would not have taken him
5 :
For those who have top-tier health insurance, such as Senators and Kennedys, we have the best care.
6 :
pay no attention to the man behind the green curtain! MOM said to her children do as I ask not as I do. We are headed for a Nanny State folks!
7 :
Because he is a Democrat and hypocrisy is in their genes.
8 :
I was hoping Costa Rica since the WHO has them ranked higher than the US.
9 :
Because Kennedy has gov't healthcare. Stupid question.
10 :
Apparently he felt he would receive adequate care right here. Maybe his TAX PAYER PROVIDED insurance doesn't cover Canadian facilities.
11 :
Congress has the best insurance in the world. We can afford the best for our senators. That's why they're exempting themselves form "our" plan.
12 :
We are ranked so low precisely because we do have free health care for the near indigent. They will buy beer and lottery tickets rather than health insurance and so get no health care other than the emergency room where they blithely go for everything from common colds to DOA drug overdoses and broken backs. Ted Kennedy did not go to an emergency room for cancer treatment nor did he use the emergency system to try and save Mary Jo Kopechne.
13 :
Because he didn't have to? Healthcare in the US is great - if you are independantly wealthy! It's the people who don't have any insurance at all (30-40 million at least) that makes the USA seem more like a third world country than a developed nation.
14 :
I was hoping Cuba's doctors could perform it on him. That would make one dead socialist senator.
15 :
You are mistaken as usual. The US is on the cutting edge of technology but many Americans don't have access to that technology so they just die.

Ted "Do as I say, not as I Do" Kennedy is an arrogant elitist, who derived his wealth from the blood money, earned illegally by his Irish gangster father, Joe Kennedy. Ted is a typical "limousine liberal" who has one set of rules for himself and another for everyone else, would never eat from the same plate, he is trying to force down the throat of others. Socialized medicine is simply a stepping stone towards full blown socialism, which is the real agenda of liberals. Why else would they support trial lawyers who exponentially increase the cost of health care with frivolous law suits, the cost of malpractice insurance, the crazy jury awards, the needless operations, tests and procedures forced on patients by doctors and hospitals who live in fear of the predator- trial lawyers. Yup, Teddy and his elitist pals want to break the back of the health care industry by demonizing capitalism- drug companies & insurance companies, who are blamed for everything, so they can impose socialized medicine on us all. God help us!

He could be in a comma and do about the same at his job. Our system is better, that is why with his brain bouncing in his skull he can still function. He got the red pill
18 :
I WISH he had then we would have one less JACKASS in Washington

Its amazing that bloated carcass has lived this long, he has drank a river of booze, snorted a boatload of cocaine, lived off of other's earnings, never earned his own way in life. He bought his way out of prison after committing felony manslaughter. His legacy will be increasing minimum wage for high school students. Teddy is an elitist and will always place himself above the level he forces upon you and I. May the devil claim his son, sooner than later!
