Health Care Reform’s Strongest Advocate Senator Ted Kennedy Dies at 77

Published: Thursday, August 27th, 2009

“All of our thoughts are with the Kennedy family, and the nation joins them in grief and in prayer. Senator Kennedy, the youngest and last surviving brother of a family that inspired millions of Americans to service, was one of the most influential and effective Senators to ever hold a seat in the United States Senate.

“It would be difficult — impossible, really — to find any American whose life was untouched by the body of his work and the breadth of the legislation he helped pass. Most notably, Senator Kennedy’s work to protect the most vulnerable and the underserved has helped countless Americans prosper and enjoy a better life.

“At a time of enormous challenges and bitter division, Senator Kennedy’s leadership will be severely missed. We have lost a great champion in the effort to reform our health care system, which he called ‘the cause of [his] life.’”
