Summary: A nurse highlights findings of a Planned Parenthood report that suggests McCain's health care plan doesn't cover conditions important to women.

SHAINA KLACKLE: As a nurse, I'm concerned about your health care. And so is Planned Parenthood 's Action Fund.
In fact, their study found John McCain's plan won't guarantee coverage of cancer screenings or maternity care; lets insurance companies deny coverage for pre-existing conditions, even pregnancy; and would add a new tax on health benefits that could cost families thousands.

I'd say that's bad medicine.
