Sen. John McCain declared his opposition Friday to the GOP's last-ditch effort to repeal and replace "Obamacare," dealing a likely death blow to the legislation and, perhaps, to the Republican Party's years of vows to kill the program. It was the second time in three months the 81-year-old McCain emerged as the destroyer of his party's signature promise to voters.
"I believe we could do better working together, Republicans and Democrats, and have not yet really tried," McCain said of the bill, co-written by Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, his best friend in the Senate, and Bill Cassidy of Louisiana. "Nor could I support it without knowing how much it will cost, how it will affect insurance premiums, and how many people will be helped or hurt by it."
McCain, who is battling brain cancer in the twilight of a remarkable career, said he could not "in good conscience" vote for the legislation.

Another pathetic Fake Repeal from the pathetic GOPe.
It's that contemptible hatred that he harbors for President Trump now outpicturing as his brain cancer.
McCain is despicable. He is voting against the wishes of the people of his own state.
“in the twilight of a remarkable career, said he could not “in good conscience” vote for the legislation”
Well that gave me a huge laugh. Cancer has certainly completely taken over his brain if he thinks the RATS are gonna help in any way to take down Obamacare. Maybe they help “fix” it, and there’s the gest of it, McShame doesn’t want to kill Obamacare. POS should just change parties while he might still have a cognitive thought left.
McCain, the most important man in Arizona (in his simple mind anyway). Hero? I don’t think so. He was a low-skilled pilot. McCain needs attention and he doesn’t care what kind. He wants general order and bi-partisanship in the Senate. What for and who really cares? The Senate needs to amend the filibuster rule to 51. He wasn’t very bright before his illness, now, in the words of rocket-man, he’s a Dotard. Maybe he’ll assume room temperature soon. Hey Arizona! Do something about the mess you’ve made by giving us Flake and McCain.
When you women in cages burnt alive,
or the IRS attacking conservatives,
or the GOP destroying their promised repeal of ObamaCARE,
look closer === for the voters of Arizona
and the ISIS-creator John McCain are behind them all.
If the Turtle had any balls and was really for appeal of Obamacare, he could call McCain into his office and lay it out. When a Senator kicks the bucket then either by congressional resolution or approved by congressional leadership, there is the option of allowing him to lay in state in the Capitol rotunda. You know McCain wants that glory for himself. Tell him -vote yes, or that privilege will never be approved.
Truly disgusting how he can turn on his constituents to perpetuate an Obamacare disaster that hurts those who voted for him (and the rests of the nation). His legacy will now be trash.
odumbo and his ilk ruined the best medical system in the world when odumbocare was snuck under the door and approved by the demodummies. Every damn one of them should be FORCED to use that healthcare “mess”.
As for the “demodummie” in disguise, “McLame”, it is a terrible thing to say but his obstructionist politics towards this country cause me to wish him a speedy demise.

Why oh why can't I be delusional like the people who (delusionally) call themselves "liberals"???
Oh to be able to believe comforting lies! (Until TRUTH shatters the delusions, of course.)
“I believe we could do better working together, Republicans and Democrats, and have not yet really tried,”
I believe McStain is already working together with the democrats. It’s not doing us any favors. When the democrats only answer to proposed changes to Obamacare is “no” there is no working together.
JM is acting like a Republican with half a brain.
None of this does anything to address the high costs of actual healthcare, driven by activities illegal in any other area of commerce, so the only outcome will be higher premiums, higher deductibles, and lower coverage.
Finally, McCain did good!
NO to REPLACE!
Let Obamacare CRASH & BURN magnificiently.
May voters be motivated by deep pain so we can get to repeal.
Mcpain errr, I view, oops, I mean McCain, less than J F Kerry, and that, lower than Whale Crap in the Marianna trench.
McCain, you will always be a treacherous b@st@rd, down to the very last breath you take on this earth.
And guess what, Tumor Man, far more people are going to cheer than mourn over news of your death!!
May the seats at your memorial service be 10% full (and I’m being generous with that)
He’s still trying to suck up to his NVA captors.
