I have already pointed out that Ted Kennedy has a health care agenda that he plans to begin pushing early next year. Yesterday, he reiterated his intentions:

Senator Edward M. Kennedy … told reporters yesterday that he would advance a bill early next year calling for universal health care.

Kennedy plans to reclaim his chairmanship of the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee from which he will launch his initiative.

And it isn’t likely that the President-elect will have much influence on what the final product will look like. I explain why at the American Thinker.
