No, he didn’t. You can bet your ass that McCain’s medical treatments have nothing to do with either the VA or Obamacare, the latter from which he and his fellow members of Congress dutifully exempted themselves.

Okay. I'm confused.

Forgive me, but we've been camping for the last week so I've been in somewhat of a news blackout. I'd heard something about McCain having some sort of routine procedure the day before we left so I'm just now getting caught up.

I thought somebody said something about Veterans like McCain deserving the medical care they receive so I just assumed he received his care at a VA hospital.

McCain has brain cancer. A type that is incurable and if his progresses like 90% of those who get this form, he will be dead in no more that a year.

I don’t quibble with the assertion that veterans - including McCain - deserve medical care; I spent 20 years in the Army myself. I can tell you that US senators do NOT go to VA hospitals for care. Their concern for veterans and their medical care is like their support for the repeal of Obamacare, i.e., for public consumption only and primarily at election time.
