Income Taxes Help - Did Ted Kennedy stand in line at a public health clinic when he got sick?

Did Ted Kennedy stand in line at a public health clinic when he got sick?

the way he expects us to? Remember, he is one of the main supporters of nationalized health care but chose a private hospital because he 'deserves' quality treatment! Here's another example of our 'Royalty' on capitol hill... This is interesting... Americans may be able to rest a little easier this April if Congressman John Carter, R-Texas gets his way. Rep. Carter introduced a bill Wednesday to eliminate all IRS penalties and interest for paying taxes past due. The legislation calls for the creation of what he calls the, "Rangel Rule," -- drawing attention to the recent legal issues of House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Charlie Rangel, D-N.Y., enabling citizens who fail to pay taxes on time to do so later with no additional fees. Rangel, who writes the country's tax policies, acknowledged last fall that he failed to pay thousands in real estate taxes for rental income he earned from a property in the Dominican Republic. As of September 2008 the Harlem Democrat reportedly paid back more than $10,000 in taxes but that did not include any IRS penalties. "Your citizens back home should have the same rights and benefits that come to you as a member of congress. You shouldn't be treated any differently under the law than your citizens back home," Carter said. He added that citizens should receive the "same courtesy" that the IRS is allegedly granting Rangel and Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner, who also recently acknowledged a failure to pay taxes. Carter penned a letter to Rangel earlier this month requesting that he either pay the IRS fees or join him in co-sponsoring the legislation establishing the rule. "As Chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, I believe you set an example for all American taxpayers in your dealings with the IRS, and that you must do so in a way that enforces blind justice without regard to wealth or status," he wrote in the January 6th missive. A spokesman for the New York Democrat would not comment on the state of the tax issue, which is currently under investigation by the House Ethics Committee, but did respond to the Carter bill. "This legislation is unnecessary. All taxpayers currently receive equal treatment under the law," Rangel spokesman Emile Milne said. full story... http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2009/01/... Daisy: So doesn't that mean they have to pay Twice? Once for themselves and again for someone else..including many who actually pay Zero taxes? Captain: How many of the drugs used in those countries were developed in the U.S.?

As I understand it, he was at the inaugural luncheon when he became ill.
Kennedy has splendid health care, Congress has voted themselves wonderful benefit packages. Where else can you get a job and after just five years get a generous pension? Kennedy didn't seem too concerned about the well-being of that poor, unfortunate woman that died in his "accident." And voters elected him and reelected him!! Congressmen live quite well, get generous salaries and benefits, superb retirement benefits, all for squandering our tax dollars. And the bribes and kickbacks make it quite lucrative for those who service the special interests and cronies---the under-the-table and backroom deals add considerably to an already wealthy member of Congress. Congress has requirements for elegibility, but unfortunately, honesty and integrity aren't among them.
Universal Health-care does not stop a person with the ability to pay for private care from doing so. It is basic coverage for all. Stop spreading lies it only makes you look dumb. As to "perks" to being a member of government this is done equally by both parties and SHOULD BE STOPPED. Edit: We currently pay for those who don't pay taxes it is called Medicaid. What we need it is for those who pay taxes however are not able to get basic health care. So using your logic since I am anti-war I should not have to pay for it.
The only time good old Ted stood in line was when he was drunk and wrecked his car killed that young lady . He could not report it right away because the line was to long so he waited until he sobered up. Go figure. thats your boy Ted the Dem
It should be noted that Ted Kennedy's rather large a** would be difficult to support even on two fat legs especially when drunk as he most often appears to be. So, no, he probably wasn't able to "stand" in line. ...and his status as an elite member of the ruling class dictates special treatment. Therefore, he is exempt from the more basic things in life like having to wait for anything.
Did Teddy go for help immediately when he drove over that bridge and killed Mary Jo ? No !!! So i seriously doubt the "Liar" of the Senate would stand in line at a health clinic.
Je ne me gêne plus cousin Levon you do have no trouble to read french when i saw your answer on the French Yahoo mais la différence avec les States c'est que dans un hôpital public tu peux te faire soigner par un professeur de faculté ou de chirurgie sans bourse déliée et mon amie américaine a bénéficié d'un professeur pour une chirurgie pour cure d'une affection de mauvais pronostic un cancer de l'oesophage avec oesophagectomie et plastie d'un petit estomac dans la poitrine! No mercy at taxe office.After the 15 of the month at midnight +10%.Some taxe office collectors are especially vicious and they wake up at midnight to pick up the letters including payement to charge the ones received after midnight. What Ted K get ? may be a stroke or a blennorragia?Or one after the other i keep a nice joke about women and bottle for later! The first case is an emergency sure and the best in this case is the nearest hospital able to treat within one hour. For the taxes it's the same here you do know and only 50% of poeple pay usually taxes but the governement is sharp to get non direct taxes that to say taxes on income and we have an hight purchases taxes lot worst that during Louis the 16 . Do you know a few about relation with the French taxe office?
His booze breath would clear'm outta the line... well, all but those who, while trying, departed from this earth. Every time I've visited a Chinese-speaking country (none that I've lived in or visited were communist & none had subsidized meds) the cost of health care is CHEAP. Why is that? Because their heritage and speech community place a higher importance on learning than on earning. The result is a veritable glut of highly qualified physicians, nurses, pharmaceutical technicians, bio-chem engineers, etc. What happens when supply is greater than demand? You got it. ...
To answer your question, no. But that does not mean that universal healthcare is wrong. FACT - the USA spends more on healthcare PER PERSON than any other nation on the planet. FACT - the US has higher death rates for kids aged under five than western European countries with universal health coverage. That means that a dead American four year old would have had a better chance of life if they were born in Canada, France, Cuba, Germany, Japan etc, all of which have universal health coverage. If you want to keep a system like that...
Privilege has its choice.However the voter's keep them in office.Says something about the voters too.So much for change.
I can't stand Chappaquiddick Kennedy. Charlie Rangle is a disgrace. And Tim Geithner didn't pay any penalties, fines or interest on his back taxes. Is there not one fully functioning brain among the what 500 people or so on Capitol Hill? It all makes me sick.
Like I said in the other question you got to be joking no politician will ever stand in line for Public Health as they all go Private thanks to the Taxpayers.
