"A study coming out Tuesday from scholars at Columbia, Harvard, Purdue and Michigan projects that 20 million Americans who have employment-based health insurance would lose it under the McCain plan."

McCain is swimming in the opposite direction. Electing him would be a mistake.

Yep and I know a Canadian who had to wait over 1 yr to see a different primary care doctor and over 9 months to see a endocrinologist.

Honestly, I don't believe that. Here in the US, you will wait to see an GYN usually 6-9 months for a routine check-up. That's why I go to my primary care Dr. for my annual check-up. I like her better anyway.

You're right...it isn't even a "study"...it's partisan analysis and speculation for political purposes.

*** I'm going to elect this HONEST, compassionate, intelligent, patriotic, Christian American senator/teacher of constitutional law, Barack Obama, to be our next president.

You may be able to VOTE for Obama, but I don't think YOU can elect him. ; ) And the way things are going, it's looking like WE are going to elect the HONEST, compassionate, intelligent, patriotic, EXPERIENCED, Christian American Senator/War Hero, John McCain, to be our next President.
