    After likely getting the best medical treatment that money can buy, McCain decides to pull that option away from millions of other Americans.

    After having his military service negated and trashed by Trump, McCain still casts the vote he did which was what the traitor-in-chief wanted.

    WTF??? Clearly, McCain has not done much soul-searching while dealing with his newly diagnosed medical condition.

    Sorry to pop your bubble, but folks with means will always get better care than anything offered by the ACA, or any Single payer crap.

    Your first sentence is complete bullshit.

    Provide the link to what information you have that no one else has. Your entire premise is bull sh*t as is the pile of it squatting in The White House.

    Well I can tell you, my father-in-law had a brain tumor last year, and eventually passed from it. But his medical care for the 6 months he had it was over $300,000.

    So please explain to me who, when the right repeals Obamacare, is going to pay when those who don't have coverage have issues like this.

    And yes, McCain is being very hypocritical when he voted for the Senate bill. He got good care on the taxpayers dime. You think Senators pay for their own helathcare coverage ? They charge you and I for their coverage, and then they take yours away. Its the height of hypocrisy.

    And also remember, the ACA didn't provide healthcare, it defined rules around what your insurance company could do and not do. So now that the senate is rolling back these protections, were going back to what we had pre-Obamacare. And we all know how well that worked for everyone.......

    The Republicans did this just for the political win, it had nothing to do with whats best for the county, or its people. Make NO MISTAKE, this was a political move that benefited them while hurting the country

    It's far worse than hypocrisy. It's downright sociopathic.

    Why? Single payer systems do not check bank balances so why would one person get better care than another?

    I need to prove that wealthy people will always have the option for better care?

    Or I need to prove that the care the rich can afford is better that anything the ACA or single payer can provide?

    Your entire premise (as usual) is merely venom filled angst, for any/all things not liberal.

    People with means will the best medical care period!
    True the ACA, Trump Care,Medicare, TriCare, or MeNoCare does not provide health care it is only the way to finance health.

    Being medically retired from the military McCain could have used his TriCare benefits if he wanted to but us military retirees do not get the deal thatvCongress gets so he is better off with the insurance that thecGubmint provides.

    Because those with the means for better care, get it.

    I'm not saying that the system checks the patient's bank. I'm saying that wealthier patients pass on leaving their care options... Especially for the bad stuff.... In the Single Payer lane.

    Exactly why the wealthy would get better care.

    What happens when the doctors, you know, the people who went to medschool for years, did residencies for years, all in all worked harder than 99% of people for what they have, and you tell them, "Well everyone gets the same treatment, and here's how much we're willing to pay" and they say "Nope, Going private sector and I refuse to accept any of this, cash only."; then what happens?

    Are you going to force them to work for the, "Public" sector?

    McCain's constituents have lost their ability to health care in a lot of the state thanks to Obamacare. He could give two shits what twitter Liberals think.

    The OP source is some half baked opinion blog created for propaganda. It's embarrassing that people would share it here.

    The blood clot was found during a routine exam, which ObamaCares includes.
    The tax payer pays for most of his insurance as well as most of the cost of routine exams and consults by the US Capitol physician.
    If trump care passes, most of us would not be able to afford the price tag of more than $75K that his procedure cost.
    He paid a $300 deductible.

    In order to put more money in the pockets of the 1%, including themselves, the Republicans are voting to kill many Americans.

    WTH??

    Are you saying Obamacare provides the best medical treatment money can buy? No, you can't be saying that, you just can't be. No one is so politically partisan that they would utter such a statement and actually mean it.
