Script of "Fighter" (TV)
WOMAN [v/o]: I've never faced an enemy like cancer. But it's OK. I'm a fighter.
Under John McCain's health care plan, 20 million people could lose their insurance at work -- I could be one of them. And with a pre-existing condition like cancer, I couldn't get coverage on my own.
He wants me to fight cancer and the insurance companies?
Fine. I'll take you both on.
ANNOUNCER [v/o]: Ask Senator McCain which side he's on.
