Dear Mr. (pabianice):
Thank you for contacting me to share your views about health reform. I appreciate knowing your thoughts on this very important topic.
Since the enactment of Obamacare more than seven years ago, American’s across the country continue to see the consequences of this disastrous law. In Arizona alone, the cost of midlevel health insurance plans on Obamacare’s marketplace increased by 116 percent on average last year. Worse still, before Obamacare, Arizona had 24 insurance companies selling plans on the individual market. Today, there are just two companies and 14 of Arizona’s 15 counties have just one insurer. That is not what President Obama promised when this bill was signed into law, and why the status quo is simply unacceptable.
As you may know, earlier this year I voted against the so-called ‘skinny repeal’ amendment because it would not have accomplished what I have been promising Arizonans for seven years, and that is to repeal and replace Obamacare. While the amendment would have repealed some of Obamacare’s most burdensome regulations, it offered no replacement to actually reform our health care system and deliver affordable, quality health care to our citizens.
As we move forward, it is critical that Congress not make the mistakes of the past that has led to Obamacare’s collapse, including in my home state of Arizona where premiums are skyrocketing and health care providers are fleeing the marketplace. We must now return to the correct way of legislating and send the bill back to committee, hold hearings, receive input from both sides of aisle, heed the recommendations of our nation’s governors, and produce a bill that finally delivers affordable health care for the American people.
Ultimately, the final product must be based around the fundamental value of freedom, and Obamacare is not.
Thank you again for writing to me. Please feel free to contact me if you have any other comments or questions.
Sincerely,
John McCain United States Senator

How do you know Sen McCain is lying? His lips are moving
Does anyone believe this LSS anymore?
Here is a classic example of the stark difference between private sector/business owner response to consumer/owner needs and wishes and the bureaucratic government response to a combination of consumers and bosses: We, the People.
We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America. - Preamble to the Constitution of the United States of America
“As you may know, earlier this year I voted against the so-called ‘skinny repeal’ amendment because it would not have accomplished what I have been promising Arizonans for seven years...”
So he decided to leave 0bamacare in tact instead, good call
Classic form letter.
I stopped sending linda graham letters because she’d take forever (six weeks or more) to answer and her responses to the specific questions I asked in my letter were ignored. Instead, she’d send me a form letter about whatever topic was hot right then.
linda, you’re WORTHLESS! Your buddy McCain is worthless also.
Not only when his lips are moving, but with every word he authorizes to be sent out over his name. This may or may not be dementia caused in part by his recent affliction, but words certainly do not follow action. McCain is still p*ssed with Trump for the way his period of captivity by the North Vietnamese was characterized. Still, there is some room for reasonable doubt as to how McCain comported himself during captivity. And much of it is still available to anyone who is willing to look, and in McCain’s own words.
As you know I am a lying traitor and coward. Don’t hold it against me

“American’s across the country”
Are you sure it’s legit? If so, point out his grammatical error. Tell him to waste taxpayer dollars on proof-readers with better credentials.
Back when man-tanned John Boehner was still weeping in the House, I wrote my critter (VP Pence’s, then governor, successor) to ask why a conservative wasn’t running to replace him.
His response was also a form letter. I found out later it was provided to all critters to assuage us angry plebs—by speaker Boehner’s office.
You know the rest of the story. (Lyin’ Ryan. Or, `From the Frying Pan, Into the Fire: A Hobbit’s Tale.’)
It’s not a toomah
and be covered with lunatic spittle.
