I said right after the news of his brain cancer that it might affect his decision on how he votes. When you suddenly are faced with your mortality you begin to try to do the right things in spite of peer pressure. |

Everyone is hoping that he gets the treatment he needs which he will and then we next are praying that he beats the very great odds he is facing and goes on to a full recovery. |

McCain made an impassioned and historical statement in the Senate explaining how the Senate worked and how it needs to get back to working that way and why it is important to the country. He then followed it up with a vote that will force Senate leadership to look to the established committee process and bipartisanship to get a bill done. McCain recognized that shoving this down the throats of Senators and America is not the way this country should work. |

The elders of the Senate know how to do this but I don't think those conservatives that came in under "no compromise' know how to conduct themselves in this matter. I don't think they will be able to handle it and the people that voted them in won't tolerate it. |

While I have always been of the mind that legislation which is going to affect every American needs to involve ideas of both parties and has support of members from both parties. It's too bad no one told Reid and Pelosi 8 years ago. |

For all of its faults, the ACA was debated and open for discussion for a while, July 2009 to March 2010. The 'Pubs wanted no part of it. |

They were shut out of any real input repeatedly... Pelosi made clear they could go piss up a rope any time. |

You may want to read this https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2015/07/the-real-story-of-obamacares-birth/397742/ and refresh your memory. There was some bipartisanship in the Senate till McConnell pulled the plug in Sept 2009, and in the House the 'pubs wanted no part of it. |

Lol, I'm sure that's the way Norm Ornstein remembers it, no serious effort ever was made to include Republicans at the legislation crafting level. The ACA=Romney care meme has been debunked elsewhere. And explain how Republic were petrified of McConnell before but not now... |

Conress should be forced to use ObamaCare, especially if they voted for it! But no, McCain will get the Rolls Royce plan! Edited by Alt Right PEPE, Jul 28 2017, 07:43 PM.

'When Obama said the health plan incorporated ideas from Democrats and Republicans, we think he grossly overstated the bipartisanship of the process to date. Both sides claim the other party is to blame for that, an issue that we will not wade into here. However, we note that none of the plans that have graduated from congressional committees have received a single Republican vote. Yes, Congress adopted dozens of the amendments proposed by Republicans, but we couldn't find any that dramatically altered the plan.' http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/2009/sep/09/barack-obama/Obama-says-health-plan-incorporates-ideas-of-Democ/ |

If Congress believed in the plan, they wouldn't have seperate plans outside of "ObamaCare" |
