But McCain said he would NOT vote for the REPEAL ONLY bill as presented. Hence no 51 votes. Hence no straight repeal. Hence Obamacare lives on for awhile longer.

It looks like McCain's detractors will be disappointed, yet again. He lives on, and on.

McCain's last words are going to be, "To the last, I will grapple with thee... from Hell's heart, I stab at thee! For hate's sake, I spit my last breath at thee!"

Fine speech from McCain.  His didn't have trouble speaking as he did in a committee meeting shortly before this surgery.  He says he will be there a few days for his work on the Armed Forces Committee (think that is the one he said), then will go home for treatment.

From the little I heard, he sounded like a man facing his mortality.

Forgive me, I am still unclear.  Is this for repeal only?

   Motion to proceed to debate, the bill they are debating is the recently passed House Version, (the 'mean' one) but McConnell has opened up everything to allow Amendments, maybe the Cruz/Lee amendment will be voted on afterall. @Emjay @bilo @RoosGirl

The libs/dems of today are the Quislings of former years. The cowards who would vote a fraud into office in exchange for handouts from the devil.

Here lies in honored glory an American soldier, known but to God

THE ESTABLISHMENT IS THE PROBLEM...NOT THE SOLUTION

Thanks ... with so many defectors I cannot believe we can get anything passed ... even the Cruz bill but hope springs eternal.

Well, it used to spring but now it just barely leaps.

Dr. Ben Carson's criticism of Obamacare what? 5 years ago did a lot to catapult Ben into the political national spotlight. He should be advising in all of this; even if he is currently at Housing. One wonders?
