McCain Saves Obamacare Again, Tanks Graham-Cassidy Obamacare Repeal Bill
breitbart.com ^ | 9/22/17 | Sean Moran

Posted on 09/22/2017 12:21:31 PM PDT by ColdOne

Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) said in a statement on Friday that he will oppose the Graham-Cassidy Obamacare repeal bill. McCain’s vote against Graham-Cassidy effectively tanks renewed efforts to repeal Obamacare.

McCain said in a statement: advertisement

I cannot in good conscience vote for the Graham-Cassidy proposal. I believe we could do better working together, Republicans and Democrats, and have not yet really tried. Nor could I support it without knowing how much it will cost, how it will effect insurance premiums, and how many people will be helped or hurt by it. Without a full CBO score, which won’t be available by the end of the month, we won’t have reliable answers to any of those questions.

McCain provides cover for other republicans to support the bill.

McCain is the Poster Boy for term limits if there ever was one (in addition to Teddy Kennedy, of course).

Even a fatal brain cancer can't persuade him to dispense with his immense ego long enough to do the right thing and retire and spend his final months with his family and friends (assuming he still has any).

His father and grandfather were honorable men and probably would be ashamed of him if they were still alive.

McCain is the Arlen Sphincter of our day.
I don’t understand how he has been able to fool Arizonians for so many years.

I already counted him as a solid Democrat vote.

Yah that’s how he keeps getting elected. I was in Phoenix last year during election time and the John McCain in the ads was to the right of Ronald Reagan!

How spiteful...

I have so many interesting and wonderful friends. One a titan of an up and coming business. They noted, yes the markets are smoking, but a lot of the Trump Surge is because of the reduction in regulations, but....

Business is worried, and I asked them would you expand if Obamacare ( Graham-Cassidy isn't perfect but let that go) is changed and you get a 15% Corp Tax? the answer was "Oh hell Ya", in fact, I think business is counting on it.

People forget, Getting rid of Obamacare is the Foundation, Trump is the builder, this is really important to fix 1st of all.

What Senator McCain did was the Italian Salute and a giant "Up Yours" to making this economy an absolute dynamo that would make Reagan smile ( the totality of all PDJT's efforts ) not to just President Trump, but all of us.

That was wrong Senator, and frankly how dare you screw with our future, more importantly, our kids and grand kids future...

Juan McStain just put a stake through the heart of the Grand Old Party. Watch what happens in the 2018 elections - I am hoping everyone of these RINOs are primaried. Our own Flaky Flake will be the first of many to disappear.

Kill the bill!!

“...Why is this jealous little old twit so powerful?...”

For the same reason Anthony Kennedy is on SCOTUS.

It’s a numbers game. And that feckless piece of treasonous sh*t knows it.

Hoping Mother Nature takes her course faster with him. Never thought I’d hear myself say that, but there it is.

He’s a danger to this Republic now, and it’s ALL petty and personal with him.

I truly believe that the entire US Senate, with the exception of Rand Paul, actually want Obamacare up to the point it fails and ushers in Single Payer. That’s what these 99 clowns want, they just all lack the balls go come out and advocate directly for it.

That said, McCain is a clown that America will be better without.

The charade continues. This is all smoke and mirrors. Graham, McConnell and the rest of the GOP “leadership” keep dangling the prospect of a repeal as a means to leverage more concessions from Trump.

It IS poor legislation, but even Levin came out and supported this bill as at least a start of decentralization of Obama-McCain Care.

I think Paul can be convinced if he sees that other changes will be made to the Bill afterward.

I think he would just say ‘why not now?’.
