Summary: An auto worker mother expresses her concerns about McCain's health care plan, saying it could leave her -- and her son, who has asthma -- uninsured.
Script of "Nicole -- We Can't Afford John McCain" (TV)
NICOLE LOWE: My son Trevor has asthma. Sometimes he can't breathe. So health benefits are really important for us.
(Text on screen: Auto worker)
But John McCain is going to tax our health benefits. We'd have to pay up to $2,800 a year. That's gas money, grocery money --
My company could pay higher taxes, too. They could just walk away from health care. We could lose our benefits.
We can't afford a health care tax. We can't afford John McCain.
