Ironic how organizations promoting Universal Healthcare jumped all over the care of Dick Cheney as privilaged care beyond the reach of real Americans. The California Nurses Association even dubbed it “Cheney Care”. Now that their hero Teddy Kennedy is getting privilaged care you dont hear a word from them on the issue. There probably to busy fighting with SEIU and must of missed the story about Teddy.
