Senator McCain has proven himself to be a hero in many respects, his service during the Vietnam War is only one. Although many times he voted as a partisan to remain consistent with his party, it doesn't surprise me that he broke ranks to vote against this abomination which would have harmed millions of people. The scenario, pass it but hope the House doesn't pass it before it can go to committee was a canard and would have been a complete disaster. If Trump allows the ACA to "implode" we will have a strong impetus to adopt a "Medicare for All" insurance scenario in 2019 with Democratic majorities in both chambers.
