"John McCain would pay for his health plan with major reductions to Medicare and Medicaid, a top aide said, in a move that independent analysts estimate could result in cuts of $1.3 trillion over 10 years to the government programs."

What do my fellow Physical Therapists think of this plan?

Your wondering which version of a socialized health care program will be worse? You think money will begin pouring into your clinic under Obama's plan? Bottom line: increased demand and fewer dollars to pay for it will mean less $$ regardless of who runs the system. It's a matter of who you want as your pimp.

just a side note...How is McCain's 5 thousand dollar tax credit going to really help? Do you know how much insurance costs monthly if you were to pay out of pocket? 5G's wont even cover 3 months of health insurance for the average person...
