Apology to John McCain

A few days ago I posted a snarky message criticizing John McCain for taking advantage of a very expensive government-funded medical treatment and then coming back to vote to repeal of the Affordable Health Care Act.  

While McCain did vote to debate the repeal, he came through in the end.  

I also want to commend Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) and Susan Collins (R-Maine) for voting no on the repeal.  McCain’s no vote was dramatic, but the bill still would have passed except for Murkowski and Collins, both of whom were under heavy pressure by the Trump Administration.  They were brave women, and they did the right thing by their constituents.

In the meantime, my Senator, Pat Toomey, expressed disappointment that millions of people did not lose their health care.  

I can’t believe the number of so-called “moderate” Republicans who voted to kill the Affordable Care Act.  Really?  Moderate?  I don’t think so.
