the vote on the healthcare legislation was delayed most recently because of John McCain's surgery
turns out he has brain cancer
which was found (well, a clot was) during his routine checkups
which he has every 4 months
i think there's a lesson in here

If he has Obamacare, then he's a dead man walking. But I'm pretty sure he don't have the peasant plan like most of the rest.

Procedural vote passed only by Pence breaking the tie. Bummer.
We'll see what happens.

In the end, replacing bullshit with other bullshit accomplishes nothing. That seems to be the plan.

Ok...so this just get's more and more bizarre:
1. BCRA failed Tuesday night
2. Straight repeal without replace failed today
3. New bill is being formulated to remove mandate, employer mandate, and tax on medical device firms.
New bill would likely lead to death spiral as essential health benefits remain in place - removing mandate makes it untenable. Individual market will simply become unaffordable.

This is not a plan.
