Sen. John McCain is returning home to Arizona to begin radiation and chemotherapy treatment, following his decisive vote to block his party's attempt to repeal parts of Obamacare.
The Arizona Republican will begin the treatment Monday at the Mayo Center in Phoenix, but keep his work schedule and plans to return after August recess, according to a Friday statement from his office. The 80-year-old senator was diagnosed with glioblastoma, an aggressive form of brain cancer, after doctors performed surgery on a blood clot above his left eye.
McCain's vote was critical in Republican's failure to pass a "skinny repeal" of Obamacare, as the bill failed by one vote in the 1 a.m. hour on Friday. McCain was one of only three GOP senators to vote against the measure

... didn't go to the VA and didn't use Obamacare ...
‘Mayo center’ nothing but the best for the exempt class.
Thank you for your service John. I repent ever supporting you for president, with all that wasted money and time— but then again, we did not have a choice. Now please go away, resign and allow a real conservative senator to take your place.
Enjoy your Obamacare, Johnny, President Trump is about to take away your free ride (Congressional exemption).
He’ll soon be heading downstairs, where Benedict Arnold, Alger Hiss, Mildred Gillars, William Joyce and Robert Henry Best are sitting around the fire—and they’re saving a space for him.
They WILL find rocks in his head.
But if it’s indeed cancer, I wish him health.
The skinny repeal only repealed 3 of the parts of Obamacare (Individual Mandate, medical device tax, employers tax).
There still would have been the massive insurance bailouts and subsidies to Medicaid, as well as all the rest of Obamacare.
Folks - I cannot stress this enough. Obamacare must be fully repealed and market forces returned to healthcare, or we will have single-payer.
Now instead of the GOP being responsible for Obamacare, Obamacare is still hung around the Dems' necks, and Trump can now end the double-standard of Congress being exempt from it.
Read your own tag line.
I can’t stand the SOB.
May you burn in the hottest flames of hell you traitor bastard!
You should have stayed in Hanoi you Anti American Scum!
Or is he? Didn’t look too damn sick to me, just the incision from the blood clot. Starting to wonder if it’s not all a sham to keep him from being investigated.
What about the Cruz amendment as a stand-alone bill. Even though it was Anne Coulter who made the original suggestion. That aside, if the Cruz amendment were a stand-alone bill WITH NO OTHER AMENDMENTS I’d be happy. I could get any insurance I want with having to take the government brand.

Ockham and I only play a brain surgeons on FR, but my considered medical opinion would be: “Don’t buy no green bananas, senator McLame.”
This is the same time of cancerous brain tumor that killed Beau Biden (Joe Biden’s son) and Teddy Kennedy.
It is the most aggressive type of brain tumor, and highly fatal.
Best guess is that he has about a year to live.
His age works against him, and the possibility of getting some experimental new treatment works for him.
You forgot Ted Kennedy, the SOB who was behind the Immigration Act of 1965 which ended quotas and started the INVASION.
Ted Kennedy is to the Devil like Jesus is to God.
His parting gift. Hopefully he’ll never cast another vote.
Here’s hoping for a rapid slide into drooling, babbling dementia. You putrid piece of solid human waste.
I wish him death.
My wish offsets yours.
When McCain dies, and he will someday, Trump should say “No matter what I say it will be turned into a slander. Therefore, I will have no statement concerning senator McCain”s demise.”
Well, Trump could say about McCain what Bette Davis said when Joan Crawford died:
“They say you should never say bad things about the dead,
you should only say good . . .
Joan Crawford is dead...
Good.”
