“...and make health care available to every American”

Sounds like he’s pushing single-payer to me.

No worries. I’m sure McCain thinks Hillary will “fix it”. The cognitive dissonance of the GOP Always Hillary crowd is breathtaking.

McCain actually was one of the few Republicans that made a proposal:

There is a newer Republican proposal, which I think is better:

“Replace it with what John? Doubt you have any ideas.”

The Republicans have zero credibility on the health care issue. They’ve had the Constitutional power to defund Obamacare since January 2011. All they do is put on show votes to end it which Obama will veto if they get to his desk. The real power of Congress is the power of the purse and they don’t use it.

In addition, the issue requires real leadership which is sorely lacking in the GOP Congress. Leadership means drafting a real bill, with a real alternative, and putting it to the vote. Make Obama veto a real alternative, not a resolution with a bunch of words.

I had an argument about this issue with a lobbyist who thinks Ryan, McCain, McConnell and the rest of the GOP Congressional leaders are doing the best they can and that Trump is a dangerous demagogue. My response was, “So exactly what have they accomplished?” The response, “Well it would have been a lot worse if the Democrats had been in charge.” My response, “Least worst is never a selling proposition.”
