Franken: Kennedy’s Death ‘Makes Me More Determined’ To Pass Health Care Reform

Sen. Al Franken (D-MN) said this morning that the death of Sen. Ted Kennedy “just makes me more determined to get [health care reform] done.”

Roll Call reports that Franken spoke about Kennedy at the beginning of a health care roundtable in St. Paul.

“He was a man who fought for kids and for the disabled and for the poor and the sick and the disadvantaged,” Franken said. Health care reform “was the cause of his lifetime.”
