Congress believes there are no consequences to meaningful action. They got what they wanted the day after they were elected to office. Everything else (life-long terms, for example) is just gravy on the biscuit and a chance to pad their bank accounts more and more but once they get those lifetime bennies?? (It's a rhetorical question, guys, I'm not looking for anyone to convince me a single, solitary person holding public office is there out of the kindness of their heart ...)
Nobody can blame McCain if they honestly care about healthcare. These GOP bills were a joke and quite honestly, embarrassing. Makes me think it was all a show. They want to let Obamacare crash, and I get that, but many of the fixes aren't rocket science.
Well when it crashes it will crash hard. Then the "fix" will be single payer healthcare. Wonderful
Not a chance. There's simply too much money involved. The cost of our healthcare system is an international joke. You think all those hands in the pot are going to allow their bought and paid for congress-critters to turn off the tap? Never happen. We will continue to pay 3-5-10 times more for healthcare than the rest of the world does. And insurance CEO's will continue to ski behind their yachts.
Most people railing against this and attacking McCain couldn't even tell you what the bill number was, how many pages it was, what was in it, or what the next step was if it had passed.
The Senators themselves only saw it about 2 hrs before the vote.
Outright laughable theater.

Time for McCain to go
For discussion sake, why?
It's actually time for most of the Senate Republicans to go...McConnell first...but why are you singling out McCain?
