Sen. Edward Kennedy’s (D-MA) “absence from two high-profile public events is raising worries that the country’s longest congressional champion for health reform may not be available to shepherd it through the Senate this fall,” The Hill reports.

Kennedy “who has been battling a particularly deadly form of brain cancer since a diagnosis last May, did not attend a White House ceremony on Wednesday at which he was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom — the country’s highest civilian honor. He also did not attend a Friday funeral for his sister Eunice Shriver, who died on Tuesday.”

In fact, Kennedy has not been seen in public in months.
