    McCain to oppose Graham-Cassidy, likely sinking Obamacare repeal

    McCain to oppose Graham-Cassidy, likely sinking Obamacare repeal

    'I cannot in good conscience vote for the Graham-Cassidy proposal,' he says.

    Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) announced Friday that he would oppose the latest Obamacare repeal measure, dealing a major blow to the legislation’s prospects of getting 50 votes on the Senate floor next week.

    “I cannot in good conscience vote for the Graham-Cassidy proposal. I believe we could do better working together, Republicans and Democrats, and have not yet really tried," McCain said in a statement.

    The legislation, drafted by GOP Sens. Bill Cassidy of Louisiana and South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham — McCain’s closest friend in the Senate — is the Senate GOP’s last best chance at passing a bill dismantling the Affordable Care Act before a Sept. 30 deadline. But in a lengthy statement Friday, McCain reiterated concerns about the process in which the legislation was drafted that he laid out in July when he voted against another Obamacare repeal plan.

    McCain said he could not support the bill "without knowing how much it will cost, how it will effect insurance premiums, and how many people will be helped or hurt by it. Without a full CBO score, which won’t be available by the end of the month, we won’t have reliable answers to any of those questions.”

    “I take no pleasure in announcing my opposition. Far from it,” he continued. “The bill’s authors are my dear friends, and I think the world of them. I know they are acting consistently with their beliefs and sense of what is best for the country. So am I.”

    LOL!! Boy, is he letting it all hang out now or what?!! Of course you can't in "good conscience" support a Republican bill to fix our health care insurance issues. That would be winning!! That would be progress!! That would lower premiums, increase freedom, reduce government spending, return more power to the states while helping them with a pro-rata share to fund Medicaid, repeal the disgusting penalties on individuals and companies .... so much winning!!!

    But oh no!!! You want "bipartisasnship" instead. We won't get any of what we need and want with "bipartisanship" so the only thing you've accomplished you shiny-headed Wack-O-Doodle is more failure. LOSER!!!!

    I think they should continue to work on it through next week and see if Murkowski or Collins can be turned or pick up Heitkamp or Mnuchin, maybe the guy in Indiana. It's possible. They should leave the Democrat Party and re-register as Republicans anyway. The people in their states like Trump a lot and want his repeal/replace of Obamacare to get passed.

    Don't reward the criminal actions of millions of illegal aliens by giving them citizenship.
