HOUSTON - The man who lost last year’s presidential election is once again battling his political rival.

Senator john McCain of Arizona brought the fight for health care reform to Houston's M.D. Anderson Cancer Center on Tuesday.

Along with republican senators john Cornyn of Texas and Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, McCain told a group of doctors and nurses, government run health care is not the answer.

He predicted the month of July will be "a great debate" between democrats and republicans in Washington.

Congress goes back into session next week and McCain expects the Obama administration to start a hard push for its health care proposals.

McCain's ideas for reform include a five thousand dollar refundable tax credit for all American families, as well as the ability to cross state lines for medical care.
