In spite of Senator John McCain’s promise when he was running for reelection for the last time, he voted with two other liberal Republican senators, and every Democrat senator to keep Obamacare intact.
What Senator McCain promised Arizona voters he would do…
On October 10, 2016, John McCain faced off against his Democrat opponent Congresswoman Kirkpatrick in a televised debate. At the center of the debate was the disastrous Obamacare and what could be done to fix it. McCain responded: “For the first time in history, major entitlement reform was rammed through the Congress of the United States without a single vote from the other side. I fought for weeks, and weeks, and weeks against Obamacare and they would not allow us an amendment. There was not a single amendment allowed — no input from the minority party. We were the minority party. Now Congresswoman Kirkpatrick wants us to sit down and work together. Here’s how we work together; we repeal and we replace it.”
McCain went on to argue that the majority of the American people have “resoundingly rejected Obamacare.”
One of the debate moderators asked McCain if it was possible for Congress to try to improve Obamacare rather than to try to repeal it. McCain rejected the idea that it could be fixed and that the only solution is to repeal Obamacare: “We have to scrap it entirely and start over.” McCain went on to explain why Congress MUST repeal Obamacare, “It’s a scam, and the problem is, that the cost is becoming prohibitive and we’ve got to change it and fix it.”
Don’t forget it was Senator John McCain who arrogantly threw his thumb down in spiteful defiance to President Trump and the American people.
