Script Of "Feeling The Pain" (TV)

WOMAN #1: I help patients who can't afford a check-up.

WOMAN #2: Or a mammogram.

WOMAN #3: Or the prescriptions they need.

MAN: Our next president has to get health care costs under control.

ANNOUNCER [v/o]: Like President Bush, John McCain won't stop rising health care costs.

(Image on screen: Bush kisses McCain on the head at a campaign rally)

McCain opposed common-sense ideas like letting seniors buy prescriptions through Medicare. And he joined Bush to oppose health care for children.

WOMAN #4: John McCain says he'll lower health care costs...

WOMAN #3: ...but when it comes to making health care affordable here in Ohio...

WOMAN #1: ...we'll still be feeling the pain.
