This is a brilliant video that breaks it down — the needs for government-run health care. Something Ted Kennedy was devoted to passing for the last three decades of his life.

Apparently a security camera caught security guards confronting a gay couple after they kissed on the LDS plaza in Salt Lake City, Utah, on July 9, 2009.
