John McCain voted against Donald Trump’s draconian health care bill and once again people are hailing him as a maverick. I’m happy with his vote but less effusive than most. He’s got nothing to lose by voting his conscience. I’m wondering if he was persuaded to come to Washington by moderate Senators who couldn’t afford to spend the political capital.
At any rate it’s remarkable that so many Senators – 49 – would vote for a bill that would essentially deny many Americans health care, defacto condemning a portion of them to death. These people should rot in hell.
