Praising Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), now battling brain cancer, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer on Tuesday said McCain is thinking beyond the health care bill.

“You know, I love the man,” Schumer (D-N.Y.) told a news conference on Tuesday, after the Senate vote on a motion to proceed to a health care bill that is open to amendments.

“He's a great man," Schumer said of McCain. "We've been close friends. He even said to me when I called him this weekend, ‘Let's get immigration reform done,’ so he's thinking of the future. As you know, he and I worked on that [2013 comprehensive immigration reform] bill. And it was great to see him back, strong as he was.”

Let's put the shoe on the other foot. If a conservative tea party senator was dying of brain cancer, McCain and his amigo Schumer would be doing a happy dance. The only thing more self serving than what McCain did on the vote would be to have his remains wheeled in for future votes. He could be “The Crypt Keeper.” God help us.

“Schumer is scum.”

Careful! You will offend scum! Scum has a limited purpose, Schumer has none.

These two were pushing open borders in 2006 and 2007, along with GWB. Sessions had quite a bit to do with shutting it down. Legendary “masters of the universe” floor speeches. Sessions was a pariah in the Senate.

“McCain: Let’s get amnesty done!”

And just which president are you going to get to sign the legislation?

McCain needs to be tossed out of the GOP party.

He is the definition of a RINO- Republican in name only.

There's millions of reasons why Sen Schumer (Dem-NY) is celebrating the defeat of the Obamacare repeal.

A Massive Healthcare Fraud Ring In Brooklyn
by Russian constituents of Sen Charles Schumer

By Julia Ioffe, NY Magazine, published March 2, 2012

In March 2012, thirty-six Russians---Soviet immigrants----were arrested in Brooklyn, New York for plotting to bilk US health-insurance companies out of a quarter of a billion tax dollars.

The plot, according to the NY Times, involved ten doctors, nine clinics, and a hundred and five corporations: “The ring falsified official US govt documennts demanding tax dollars----reimbursements for a mountain of excessive and unnecessary medical treatments that were never done.

The Russian fraudsters were so brazen that they already had in-place three separate billing-processing companies just to handle the paperwork.....to get the tax dollars into their greedy hands faster.

==============================================

STORY SOURCE: MEDICAID FRAUD IN BRIGHTON BEACH, BROOKLYN

http://www.nytimes.com/2012/03/01/nyregion/dozens-said-to-be-arrested-in-health-care-fraud-scheme.html

=====================================================

NOTES---What’s remarkable here is just how unremarkable the story is, coming, as it does, out of Sen Schumer's district-----the Russian-centric Brighton Beach, Brooklyn.

Brighton Beach, Brooklyn, is famous for its Russian delicacies, entertainment, a population of highly-inflected Russian dialects, but mostly for its concentration of insurance fraud.

The NY Times reports, “Brighton Beach has one of the highest rates of health care fraud in the nation, according to federal statistics.

An analysis from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (agency regulates the two programs), shows that more health care providers in the Brighton Beach ZIP code.....Sen Schumer's district..... are currently barred from then-current healthcare programs for malfeasance than in almost any other ZIP code in the United States.

Thanks to Sen Schumer, Obamacare is theirs for the taking.

They were bilking 'health insurance' rather than 'doctor yacht care' or 'hospital mansion care'? Or even 're-elect the lying congressman care'?

Liz: That's real interesting. It would've only taken one of "our" US Senators to bring that up. It then would've been tough for Murkowski and Collins to keep up their tyranny. McCain? He doesn't give a damn; he's only out to destroy the nation and the President whom he perceives as not giving him everything he thinks he deserves.

JMHO
