\"Ted<\/a><\/p>\n

On Tuesday, America lost a lifelong champion of the under resourced. <\/p>\n

Regardless of your political view, everyone I’ve heard<\/a> who’s talked about Sen. Edward Kennedy<\/a> has said he always fought for the under resourced and always worked to build compromise wherever possible to make landmark legislation happen.
\n
\nMany have suggested that the entire health care debate we’re currently having would be taking a different tone and direction if Kennedy had been able to meet with his colleagues and work through the issue.<\/p>\n

In that spirit I’d love to see us put the partisanship aside and really talk about solutions. Don’t attack the other side – or someones view. Just offer solutions.<\/p>\n

I think we can all agree that ultimately the goal is equal access to quality health care for every American citizen.<\/p>\n

So here are a couple questions that I’d love to get your input on…<\/p>\n

What is the best idea(s) you’ve heard (or thought of yourself) when it comes to health care reform (in the US or worldwide)?<\/p>\n

What solution do you think would make the biggest positive impact on the entire health care system?<\/p>\n

There you have it. Two simple questions that can hopefully get our creative juices flowing in a direction other than name calling and angry soundbites.<\/p>\n

And let’s try and keep the discussion civil. No attacking other ideas – let’s just share solutions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
