Ted Kennedy Rule of Thumb

Children should not be denied the opportunity for a healthy start in life because their parents cannot afford insurance ... families should not have to worry about paying medical bills at the same time they are struggling to cope with all the other strains that serious illness brings ... older couples should not see the savings of a lifetime swept away by a tidal wave of medical debt ... and no Americans should find that the quality of their medical care is determined by the quantity of their wealth ... but that fundamental wrong occurs every day in America, over and over and over again.
