Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., on Friday said he "cannot in good conscience vote for the Graham Cassidy proposal.
McCain is one of four Republican senators who are undecided on the GOP healthcare overhaul, and his opposition dealt the bill's chances a significant blow.

I agree but I’m sure that’s not the reason McCain won’t vote for it. It’s probably not Socialist enough for him.
Rooting for the tumor.
Please die and go away, John McCain.
As soon as possible.
Wotta surprise. Now it has to be “bipartisan” and have an “acceptable” score from the CBO (which has been sometimes been wildly inaccurate). Plus, there was not enough “debate”.
Perfidy, thy name is John McCain.
Ted Kennedy could not have been more ruinous of the values of America.
This all but assures the continued application of Obamacare, as written and implemented. It will crash and burn, as no rescue is economically or politically feasible.
But of course, John McCain does not have to live with the consequences of his fit of pique.
McCain is a publicity whore. This RINO hates Trump so much that he will do anything to see him and his presidency fail. The old traitor has brain cancer and should not be in any position to influence decisions that affect anyone including himself. He needs to be gone.
‘DITTO’..
The “Songbird” is a TREASONIST b**stard, who gave “Aid and comfort to the enemy to the enemy in a time of WAR”
McCain is Chairman of the Senate Armed Services Cmmt and U.S. Senator-AZ. Why didn’t his conscience kick in long before news broke that the VA Hospital in Phoenix was the worst in the nation?
Yes, they certainly do. I have been paying cash for a long time now, and I am never going to sign up for this BS.
They can all go to Hell, I am not their subject.
Nice timing just before Alabama vote for Judge Roy Moore vs a GOPe bootlicker.
Understand, so you can avoid the ups and downs associated with hope, the R’s will never repeal Obamacare, cause they’ll own the results, and one universal Truth about the Loser party is they are cowards. They’re gonna do nothing on healthcare, taxes, or infrastructure spending either because it gives Trump and therefore u and me wins, and therefore power. The R’s are for the uniparty and deeply regret losing their safe position as the lying minority party begging for funding from us, to save us. TRump’s win exposed them for their lies and hypocrisy, also a very good chance the R’s lose Congress next year, and that’ll be fine with the leadership, establishment wins.
If I get a prescription that seems high to me with my insurance I go to GoodRX and check cash prices with their coupons. I’ve bought several that way. I just tell them take it off my insurance and I’ll pay cash then shove the GoodRX coupon at them.
"Come on, Lindsey, I need another day like that before I die."
It’s a win for Trump either way.
Oops !
Post-17th Amendment ratification Sen. McCain “forgot” to mention that he first needs to rally Congress to successfully petition the states for a healthcare amendment to the Constitution so that Congress actually has the constitutional authority to proceed on national healthcare issues.
“Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States.” Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
"State inspection laws, health laws, and laws for regulating the internal commerce of a State, and those which respect turnpike roads, ferries, &c. are not within the power granted to Congress [emphases added]." —Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
”From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added].” —United States v. Butler, 1936.
"The smart crooks long ago figured out that getting themselves elected to federal office to make unconstitutional tax laws to fill their pockets is a much easier way to make a living than robbing banks." —me
"Federal career lawmakers probably laugh all the way to the bank to deposit bribes for putting loopholes for the rich and corporations in tax appropriations laws, Congress actually not having the express constitutional authority to make most laws where domestic policy is concerned. Such laws are based on stolen state powers and uniquely associated stolen state revenues." —me
John McCain should have been prosecuted for influence peddling and accepting bribes from the S&L magnate Charles Keating in the 1980’s and 1990’s. President George H.W. Bush’s Justice Department chose not to investigate and charge the five US Senators for crimes. Once again proving some citizens are more equal than others. The Senate ethics process also failed to expel these criminals from the US Senate. Had President Bush done the right thing and demonstrated no US Senator is above the law, McCain would have been convicted of accepting bribes, resigned his seat, and gone to prison in disgrace.
Instead he ingratiated himself with the press and donor class, after the Keating scandal, playing the “maverick role. In his swan song McCain is choosing to play spoiler, and receive the applause of Democrats and the media, instead of relieving the citizens of Arizona from the yoke of Obamacare. He will die basking in the praise of those who would slit his throat in a heartbeat. Hopefully the historians of 100 years from now will treat him with the scorn he deserves as one of the most petty and despicable politicians in US history.
While President George H.W. Bush and his Attorney General deserve some condemnation for not prosecuting McCain, it is the people of Arizona who truly are to blame. They continue to elect him despite betrayal and obvious pandering to other interests. The fact they automatically re-elect this egomaniac to the Senate every six years demonstrates the electorate is not capable of exercising the good judgment a republican form of government demands. The people are as corrupt as their masters.
SO he lied when he said he’d listen to the state’s governor.
John McInsane.
Folks, just take this as a sign of the tsunami that Trump is going to bring in next year.
The Democrats in Trump states AND the RINOs (Heller, Flake, etc.) are going to be very very ripe for defeat.
If anyone thinks the voters are going to blame Trump, they had best think again. This is going to be blamed, rightly so, on the Republican establishment and DEMOCRATS who won’t work with Trump.
The wheels of JUSTICE turn slowly, but exceedingly fine.
Victory will be just so much SWEETER when it finally happens. We will remember days like this: days when the LIARS of the Republican party and the PARTISANS of the Democrat party stood together and refused to work for the American people.
Fear not.
Good idea!
Why Trump has not pulled their Obozocare waivers is beyond.
If these assholes think Bozocare is so great as is, then as many people in Washington DC should be forced to use it as possible.
The way the legislation was originally passed, the dirtbags’ staffs would be on Obozocare. Bozo himself gave them a waiver after Boehner and Reid went to the WH begging for special treatment, which Bozo was happy to give them.
Therefore Congress is treated as a “small business”.
Those people can fuck off and die, every one of them. McCain’s painful death cannot come soon enough.
And Trump needs to pull their waiver NOW.
I think he is just a bitter and very unhappy old man who is upset that he didn’t win the presidency, could care less about who he represents.
As long as he keeps making his millions both in DC and from his wife’s business, that’s all he cares about.
Dirt nap can’t come soon enough for this POS!
And of course the free platinum plated healthcare, and the super generous retirement benefits that await him.
