In his Congressional address, President Obama read from one of Senator Kennedy’s last letters: “[H]ealth care … is above all a moral issue; at stake are not just the details of policy, but fundamental principles of social justice and the character of our country.”1 Just as Ted Kennedy believed, I too believe that this is the year we will finally realize health care reform. And when the bill is passed, we will all hear his laugh and his hurrah for business no longer “unfinished.”
