Scotch Cures Cancer?
Or at least helps cause a remission?Ted Kennedy gets more time. Sen. Edward Kennedys brain cancer is in remission and he is expected back in the Senate after the Memorial Day recess to spearhead healthcare reform, according to Democratic colleagues. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) said Tuesday that he spoke with Kennedys wife, Vicki, in the past few days and was told the 77-year-old lawmaker is doing fine. He is expected to lead a markup of highly anticipated health reform legislation in his first month back - one of the biggest bills of the year and a signature domestic initiative for President Obama. Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.), one of Kennedys closest friends in the Senate, also said that Kennedy would return to wield the gavel on healthcare reform during the first week in June. Kennedy has been working behind the scenes on the healthcare legislation and even dropped his seat on the Senate Judiciary Committee to focus his attention on that policy area. He is expected to lead the debate in the upper chamber along with Senate Finance Chairman Max Baucus (D-Mont.)
