Sen. Ted Kennedy returned to Capitol Hill Monday to begin serious discussions about reforming the health care system. The Massachusetts senator, who is currently undergoing treatment for a malignant brain tumor, has been a leader in Congress on health care reform throughout his career. “I’m very hopeful,” he told reporters, “that this will be a prime item on the agenda. Barack has indicated that this will be a prime issue.”
