McCain: Classy to the end
McCain was like a quarterback whose team just drove 99 yards to the 1-inch line with time for one more play, and then he hands the ball off to the other team. We all wanted Obamacare dead, it doesn't work, the deductibles are unaffordable. McCain was a war hero, but his ego, or something else, hurt his teammates.
The American people have overwhelmingly voted in favour of The Affordable Care in three separate elections now. These continual Republican attempts to thwart the will of the American voters in regards to this healthcare bill are completely unconscionable and most undemocratic. Once again, the Republican Party has refused to accept the will of the people, and simply plowed ahead with trying to dismantle the ACA.
They voted for it in 2008, and they voted for in by a landslide in 2012. The entire Presidential election was fought on preserving the Affordable Care Act, and then again as Trump tried to dismantle it 2018. The #1 issue for voters in 2018 was healthcare. That's why voters packed town hall meetings with Republican candidates, to let them know that they wanted to keep the ACA.
John McCain had the good sense to recognize that the People have spoken loud and clear on this issue in every election where it's been foremost on the ballot, and he sided with the voters. I will say it again, John McCain is the ONLY Republican I would every have voted for, even though I disagreed on many of his stands, but because he wasn't an ideologue, but a decent human being who listened to his constituents, and respected their wishes.
