From Weapons of Mass Discussion:
"As president, John McCain will work to reform our nation's health care system for the benefit of patients and health care providers alike," said State Sen. Durrell Peaden, honorary state co-chair of Florida Doctors for McCain-Palin. "His plan to offer American families a $5,000 refundable tax credit will help 47 million uninsured Americans afford health care, and relieve a major burden for families already struggling to afford their insurance premiums. Only John McCain has offered proposals to make health insurance more innovative, portable and affordable, and I am confident he will take decisions out of the hands of employers and insurance companies and restore control to patients themselves. Choice is the most important thing for patients in health care."
Dr. Karl Altenburger, Honorary State Co-Chair of Florida Doctors for McCain-Palin and immediate past president of the Florida Medical Association, added: "American families are deeply concerned about the rising costs of health care, especially during this time of economic uncertainty, but they are also concerned about quick, simple access to health care and acquiring the preventive care they need. Through more choice, competition, prevention, and the promotion of greater access to care, John McCain will make it possible for every American, including those with pre-existing conditions, to receive the health care they deserve."
Dr. Altenburger continued, "As a physician, I also understand the importance of John McCain's call for immediate medical liability reform; this initiative is key to ensuring that physicians and patients are not burdened by the costs of frivolous lawsuits or excessive damage awards."

About Me

- Technology consumes our everyday. Instant and text messages allow constant contact. Social networking expands our communities. Blogs model our opinions. The internet provides information. While the aforesaid are convenient, they are also problematic. They are independent. They are unpredictable. In politics, I transformed technology. For you, I will as well. I have worked and consulted in a presidential campaign, two gubernatorial campaigns, several congressional and statewide campaigns. Prior to this, I was a reporter. I understand new media. I understand technology. I am aggressive, comprehensive, and persistent. I can improve your company. Blogs, cellular technology, fundraising tools, instant messaging, text messaging, and social networking. We will channel them. You may not embrace technology. You may not respect technology. However, America’s alteration is permanent. Customer communication and interaction are vital. I anticipate your response.
