The Senator for us all made the need for health care reform the focus of his speech in unambiguous terms: "This is the cause of my life -- new hope that we will break the old gridlock and guarantee that every American -- north, south, east, west, young, old -- will have decent, quality health care as a fundamental right and not a privilege."
