Kennedy Biographer Adam Clymer: Kennedy Shaped Obama's Health Agenda

Adam Clymer covered Congress as a Washington correspondent for the New York Times and the Baltimore Sun, beginning in 1963, the year after Edward Kennedy was elected to the Senate. He is the author of a remarkable biography, "Edward M. Kennedy," which captures the sweep and breadth of Kennedy's remarkable half century of public service in the Senate. KHN's Eric Pianin talked with Clymer.
