== Ted Kennedy's Plan ==

Ted Kennedy has withheld details of his plan from the public, perhaps to avoid a build-up of criticism about it.  But his staff has met with interest groups in 2008 and it is expected that Kennedy's plan will be similar to the [[Massachusetts Plan]].  Kennedy's plan will likely include taxpayer-funded abortion by requiring that insurance carriers cover abortion, and requiring or using the tax incentives and penalties to include participation by taxpayers.

Kennedy's plan will likely impose tax penalties on American citizens who decline insurance, but not impose any penalties on the millions of [[illegal aliens]] who lack insurance.
