The Senate will defer consideration of the GOP healthcare plan that would partially repeal and replace Obamacare until Sen. John McCain returns to work following a procedure to remove a blood clot from above his left eye, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said in a statement late Saturday.
After wishing him a "speedy recovery," McConnell, R-Ky., added: "While John is recovering, the Senate will continue our work on legislative items and nominations, and will defer consideration of the Better Care Act."
About two hours earlier McCain's office revealed that he would be spending a week in his home state of Arizona recovering from the procedure he got on Friday.
Mayo Clinic Hospital in Phoenix said the 80-year-old is now "resting comfortably at home and is in good condition," after a successful surgery.

Why the hell doesn’t our supposed “leadership” in the House and Senate have a charity baseball team!
GOOD! I’d much rather have the Senate confirming Trump’s judges than doing ANYTHING ELSE, including Obamacare or taxes.
Let’s get the courts cleaned up first. And TRUMP, if you hear me, PLEASE send more nominations to the Senate...stop being so damn patient - we need those judges, and NOW!
“We’d wait until he pulled his head out, but it’s a chronic condition.”
So the House did not grind to a halt when Steve Scalise got shot...what makes one vote out of 100 so important...useless buncha folks we have elected....

Just out of curiosity. What happens if he doesn’t come back? Does the governor appoint a replacement? Or, is a called election in order?
What convenient BS!
Ah, Bob, if you think the Senate is going to do anything about judges, taxes, Obamacare or anything else ... you’ve not been paying attention to the world’s most useless body.
Republicans do not want to govern. Or rock their boat.
Best to get used to this.
Gov. Ducey appoints a replacement.
Any of these fools ever hear of Skype? Why does the country have to come to a halt because a senile 81 year old has another surgery?
Its not “important.” Its an excuse.
Agree!! Like it was planned.
McStain can choose to go to whichever doc he prefers- wherever he chooses. Unlike MANY folks stuck on 0CommieCare.
House of Cards excuse. If you wanna work when you’re 80 years old, you don’t get to take sick days. Especially since taxpayers are paying your salary and health insurance.
Sorta like how the Democrats always find a ‘plant’ to put in place when needed...and that is just what is happening with this Russia bull ****.
Time for TRUMP to use some of his PRESIDENTIAL POWERS AND BEGIN CLEANING HOUSE or drain the swamp, which ever works best for today's MSM.
(I’d be happy if the woman who ran against him was to replace him. )
I suspect with HIS actions lately that there may be others. Just lost an uncle with similar problems. Progressively got worse.
I think it may be worse than they are telling.
