Script of "Worried Sick" (TV)

WOMAN #1: How did Sam's surgery go?

WOMAN #2: Good, thank god. I don't know how we're going to pay all the bills.

We've got insurance, but it doesn't seem to cover much. He's been out of work for two weeks.

ANNOUNCER [v/o]: Worried sick about health care costs? John McCain's plan won't help.

McCain's health care plan would raise taxes for many families and would deny coverage for pre-existing conditions like cancer.
