Senator Ted Kennedy, rest in peace.

Some journalists will eventually ask other Senators whether they now have an obligation to pass a health care bill, out of respect for Kennedy.

That is not the right question. Instead, it should be:
"If Sen. Kennedy were on life support in a permanent vegetative state and his family was ready to end his life if Congress did not pass a health care bill by the time he fell into his coma, because his family says that that is what the Senator wanted because he told them even though he did not have an advanced direct because Medicare would not cover that kind of meeting with his physician, would the Senate and House rush back to D.C. to pass a health care bill?"
