Senators attack McCain’s health care plan

“[Senator John McCain's health care] plan would be a disaster,” said former Senator Bob Graham (D-Fla.) at the start of a conference call discussing McCain’s health care plan. Graham and current Senator Bob Casey, Jr. (D-Pa.) both made statements about how “out of touch” McCain is with the American people and their hopes for health care reform. Casey spoke about McCain’s $1.3 trillion cuts in Medicaid and Medicare over the next ten years and his readjustment from employer based health care to a $5,000 credit system for households, which is less than half of the price of most health care plans. Both men promoted Senator Barack Obama’s plan by emphasizing its focus on middle class families.
