Whoops! McCain says he's voting no on the GOP's new health care bill

Addy

Rebuild With Biden!
Quite the hero again ... as many proclaim. :cool: :)

Since all Democrats oppose the bill, dubbed Cassidy-Graham, Republican leaders can only afford to lose three GOP senators on it. McCain’s decision means the bill doesn’t appear to have the votes to pass. Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) has said he’s opposed to it, and Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) has said she’s “leaning against” it. Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska), who voted against the last repeal bill, has also raised concerns with this one.

In a lengthy statement, McCain underscored that the process has been terrible and suggested he won’t support any repeal bill that wasn’t vetted through the usual rigorous, bipartisan debate. Republican leaders have been rushing to try to pass the bill ― any repeal bill, really ― because their ability to pass something with 51 votes instead of 60 expires at the end of the month.

They will put the screws to Murkowski and Rand Paul to get them to flip. There can be no complacency yet - the latest GOP monster is not yet dead.

Making a deal with Murkowski to vote for repeal...could be what's happening.
The way I understand it, if she votes for repeal, Alaska still gets to keep Obama care... :rolleyes:

Yup. Word is they're bribing her big time.

Even if they flip her, "no" votes from McCain, Rand Paul and Collins would doom this latest GOP scam. Paul has said he will vote no but he's an habitual liar. We'll see.

Bless you all
No biggie, in the long run, people were promised a "repeal" not a replace.

Besides, God is in the process of primarying John McCain anyway.

Obama knew that once people learned and appreciated the benefits, the PPACA would be just as hard for the Republicans to abolish as Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid.

I'm confident that Trump/Republicans will fail. They aren't the governing party. They suck at it, in fact.

What difference does it make

Songbird is not on ObamaCare and gets best health care in America and another lil' baby is born in the ghetto.
