STATEMENT BY SENATOR JOHN McCAIN ON VOTING “NO” ON “SKINNY REPEAL”
McCain.senate.gov ^ | 7/28/17 | some staffer for McCain

Posted on 07/28/2017 4:31:31 AM PDT by SoFloFreeper

U.S. Senator John McCain (R-AZ) released the following statement today on voting “no” on the so-called “skinny repeal” of Obamacare:

“From the beginning, I have believed that Obamacare should be repealed and replaced with a solution that increases competition, lowers costs, and improves care for the American people. The so-called ‘skinny repeal’ amendment the Senate voted on today would not accomplish those goals. While the amendment would have repealed some of Obamacare’s most burdensome regulations, it offered no replacement to actually reform our health care system and deliver affordable, quality health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. The Speaker's statement that the House would be ‘willing’ to go to conference does not ease my concern that this shell of a bill could be taken up and passed at any time.

“I’ve stated time and time again that one of the major failures of Obamacare was that it was rammed through Congress by Democrats on a strict-party line basis without a single Republican vote. We should 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 nation’s governors, and produce a bill that finally delivers affordable health care for the American people. We must do the hard work our citizens expect of us and deserve.”

This is McCain’s MO his entire career. Always on your side when you don’t need him, to keep his “conservative” scores high. Never on your side when the vote actually counts. Always the knife in the ribs when you actually need his vote.

He has been playing this game for decades. He’s a maverick, you know.

He is going to die an angry bitter old man.
His last chance for notoriety was squandered and this is what he will be remembered for.
F John McCain

Juan voted for repeal when HE KNEW it would be vetoed. Now, he won’t even vote to send the bill to conference.

Sleaze.

Blah, blah, blah, boiler plate.

The Democrats have no interest whatsoever in working this out.

This is precisely why the GOP can’t govern. Too many idiots going along to get along in the GOP.

The Democrats in both parties run the Congress.

McCain’s vote shows his brain is already maggot food. The sooner the rest of him follows the better for America. Shame on the people of Arizona!!

You hit the nail on the head! Totally describes McCain.

McCain deserves the medicine others get,
not that reserved for HIM and the EXEMPT,
or the “medicine” his ISIS gives women and children
before they are sold for slaves or burnt alive,
or crucified as the citizens of Arizona demand thru McCain.
