John McCain gave good reasons to vote against the latest attempt to overturn the Affordable Care Act. No hearings were held on the proposed bill. It was not a bipartisan effort. Its financial implications were not analyzed by the non-partisan Congressional Budgetary Office.
What amazes me is that out of 52 Republican Senators, only one has the guts to stand up for what is right. I guess that after you survived torture in a North Vietnamese prison, threats from the blowhards Trump and McConnell don’t seem very scary.
I’m hoping that the Senator Collins and Senator Murkowski will oppose the bill, but why wait? Why not announce opposition now?
And where is my Senator Toomey? The proposed bill will hurt Pennsylvania residents, but he seems more interested in campaign contributions than in his constituents. This is a sad time for our country.
