"That is what he is talking and thinking about," Kennedy said. "It adds a great deal of poignancy to his recovery. But that's how he sees it -- he has to recover so he can get health care for the millions of people who don't have access to the care that we do."

Kennedy told the newspaper that his father wants to begin writing the legislation this year so it would be ready if Obama was victorious.

1. psssst....Ted.....the legislation already exists --- it's called HR 676 (Medicare for All)

We need a Senate sponsor for a Senate companion bill.

How about it, Ted?
