Kennedy and HMO's
Ted Kennedy, railing against the very notion that the private sector has any role in medical care, claimed the current Medicare bill will dump seniors "in the cold arms of the HMOs."
Kennedy has said a LOT of nasty things about HMOs lately.
Does anyone remember that Ted Kennedy INVENTED HMOs? Hmmmm. Didn't think so. Yes, boys and girls, good old Ted Kennedy was the sponsor of the HMO Act of 1973.
God, I love the Internet.
Others have noticed this irony as well. I'm sure like all of Kennedy's social engineering ideas, it seemed like a good idea at the time.
