John McCain to discontinue medical treatment for brain cancer
I didn't always agree with him and his positions but I will miss him when he departs the political scene. He was first and foremost an honorable man a man of courage. There are few like him in there strength and resolve to do what they perceive as right and correct.

The Republican legislation would not have repealed Obamacare, it partially replaced it with their own statism, weakening some of it, with some provisions that were worse. It followed Trump's pitch replacing "repeal" with "repeal and replace". McCain blocked it out of revenge against Trump, but it wasn't repeal that he blocked, and of course he did nothing else himself to try to repeal it.
I liked McCain when he ran for POTUS, but he blew it with his choice of running mate.
I thought Obamacare should just be repealed. Things were much better before Obamacare took over, and replacing it with some other useless government program wasnt right. BUT, you needed 60 senate votes to do that, and democrats wouldnt break ranks. So here we are stuck with insurance we cant afford to buy, and certainly cant afford to use.
Trump called him out with his statement about preferring people who did NOT get captured, and McCain responded with true hatred for Trump no matter what happened after that. We are stuck with Obamacare as a result of McCain's hatred.
Trump's statement might have been a bit unnecessary, but I kind of agree that a hero is really not one who was captured and tortured by another country. That takes no heroism at all. You just sit there and be tortured.
I was always questioning his "hero" status since there were never any specifics added to justify it other than him being tortured. Trump had it right when he said he preferred "those who were not captured" which of course was received by howls how insensitive he was.
