On November 6, 2012, the United States holds presidential and congressional elections. How does health care fit into the choices facing voters? What is likely to happen after the election? And how does it affect the physical therapy profession? PTJ Editor in Chief Rebecca Craik leads a discussion of the issues and candidates with Justin Moore, Vice President, Government and Payment Advocacy at APTA, and Roger Herr, a member of APTA's Board of Directors and APTA's Public Policy and Advocacy Committee. The American Physical Therapy Association and PTJ do not endorse or take a position on presidential candidates but seek to empower members to be active participants in the electoral process.
