On Friday, Sen. John McCain betrayed every Republican in America once more.
The Arizona senator published a lengthy statement announcing his opposition to the last-ditch
Obamacare repeal effort in the Senate, which GOP leaders were hoping to bring for a vote
next week.
"I cannot in good conscience vote for the Graham-Cassidy proposal," McCain said in
the statement, referring to the bill Republicans were planning to put on the floor.
TPM reports:
His opposition is a major setback, if not full-on death sentence, for the legislation.
Senate Republicans can only lose two GOP votes and still pass the bill.
Sens. Rand Paul (R-KY) and Susan Collins (R-ME) have also signaled they're very likely to
vote against the bill.
The deadline for the Senate to move forward on the Obamacare repeal effort that passed
out of the House is Sept. 30.
McCain was the key vote that torpedoed Senate Republicans' last Obamacare repeal effort
in July, with a late-night surprise vote against a previous proposal that would have gone to
a conference committee between the House and the Senate.
That dramatic vote came after McCain was rushed back to Washington from Arizona, where he
has been receiving cancer treatments.
McCain had voted in favor of advancing an Obamacare repeal bill in an initial procedural
vote, but then gave a riveting speech on the Senate floor ripping lawmakers for abandoning
the traditional legislative process.
Likewise, the statement McCain issued Friday focused on the process complaints about the
latest bill, sponsored by Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-LA) and McCain's good friend, Sen. Lindsey
Graham (R-SC).
Their bill was only introduced earlier this month, and Republicans intended to vote on
it next week with only a preliminary Congressional Budget Office score that would not have analyzed
the legislation's effects on health care coverage or its overall costs to the federal
government.
