Isn't it ironic that the man who lost to Barack Obama was the one who saved the President's main accomplishment? John McCain was a true patriot, may he rest in power!
He didn't like Obamacare, but he also knew that making it worse and taking healthcare away from 20+ million wasn't a better option.
@@Droogie128 Nope, he was simply against ramming through legislation that had such far-reaching implications, without hearings, and without discussions with the people representing millions of his countrymen (the Dems).
That was his primary argument against the bill.
@@aritragupta4182 well, yeah. They only had 2 hours to look it over, no democrats were allowed any input, and the house probably would have just pushed that through.
It would have cost millions their Healthcare
It is Ironic and from one democrat he was a true republican.
McStain was a disgrace who abandoned Americans left behind in Vietnam in order to perpetuate a narrative to cover for the Commie's refusal to release them when the U.S. reneged on its pledge to make reparation for the war. A complete rump swab.
One guy saved a plan the literally saved my life and that guy was John McCain . My employer was mandated by the law to offer me insurance and 2 months later I was in the ER ..John McCain saved my life . Thats just real folks ..The American people deserve better .McCain did what he did his entire life ....He served his country and his fellow Americans . I am so saddened by this person in office who is so petty and juvenile to continue to blame him for his service and lay claim to success of the the laws that John wrote? ....Shame ..once again on fake president .
trump and the gop wanted to get rid of the companies healthcare obligation so that companies can do some more record stock buy backs like whats happening now and artificially inflate the stock market and pretend like that equals money in everyones pocket which it doesn't ...over 99 percent of the stocks are owned by less then 1% of the people.
Don't forget Susan Collins and Lisa Murkowski, two Republican Senators that also voted with John McCain to vote down that bill.
too bad President Obama had nothing to do with you having health care.
The ER would have treated you regardless of insurance.
@@chahtanamedjeff Yea they would have treated me and I would be stuck with a $20.000 plus bill . I wouldnt have went to the ER without insurance . Many people wont go to the doctor because they cant afford it . In America when you cant pay your bills you get sued and your check is garnished to a level of money you cant live on and you lose your car and house and live on the street or die .
Nothing more satisfying than seeing the human turtle being defeated .
AHAHAHAHAHA.
TURTLE! Anderson Cooper is that you?
Turtle Mc ain't the majority leader anymore. He's the minority leader😏😉🐢
The monster from pans labyrinth lol
Everyone says McCain saved ObamaCare, which is partly true, but remember that two other Republican senators also voted against the Freedom Healthcare bill. R.I.P John Mccain
Yeah. If he didn't show up, Pence would have casted a tiebreaker
But the other two senators saved it too. All three worked to save America.
They were allowed to vote against because the republicans had enough votes to pass with McCain. Otherwise they would have been toeing the line too.
So even though Lindsay Graham said he had increasing doubt about it, he still voted for it. Noble.
That's what he does. All part of his decent into what he has become. If you haven't, listen to the podcast series 'The Corruption of Lindsey Graham' It's excellent.
So if McCain didn’t come in, pence would’ve made the critical vote????
No, in case there was a tie, yes and no has both 50 votes, the VP will be the tie breaker.
If McCain were to vote yes it would be a 50-50 tie, Pence would break the tie. Since the vote was 49-51, the bill failed.
I never tire of watching true courage in display.
Hey Mitch thanks to you Kentucky is now known for 3 things the Kentucky Derby, Bourbon, and FAILURE! ;)
4* You forgot inbreeding.
you forgot KFC
I don't get how Mitch has so much power in the Senate, represents Kentucky for nearly 3-4 decades, but Kentucky is still the poorest state on the bottom of the list. Just how? Meanwhile, he amassed a estimate fortune of 25-30 million
@@Scarsofevil I have been searching the internet for the pass few weeks trying to get a answer to your very question, everywhere I go in the comment section they seem to hate him. So who is voting for him?
@@hoodatheist5549 Idk, but it seems like he will win Kentucky again.
i just think it’s cool that the capitol has a little train inside
@Jackson Werner the Senators are sold they can’t walk to the Senate, they need the little train
never forget what republicans do when they’re in power
Except Republicans like McCain.
Pass Obamacare?
@@cinnamonape3045 was this a joke or?
Well if it brings anyone solace I sincerely doubt republicans will ever have a majority in either the house or senate ever again. Let alone win a presidential election
@@nevink4717 the republicans like McCain are like McCain. Dead.
The attempt to repeal Obamacare made it immensely popular, as 7 conservative states have expanded Obamacare since 2018, mostly by popular referendum
--- 37 million ppl are insured under Obamacare, and the Inflation Reduction Act made it's premiums very affordable for the low income red states.
Thanks to the GOP for always being against the Dems' legislated safety net programs
--- that makes them more popular.
Sad that there were only 3 true Republicans left to serve the people, and soon the number dropped to 2.
John McCain's spirit lives on
Arizona went full on blue. He held the last laugh against Trump.
I really miss the politics of the old days when congress was much less biased and when people didn't do party politics. I applaud John McCain for making all those in the Senate realize that politicians must be unbiased.
You know bad it was when even Lyndsey Graham opposed the bill.
And he still voted for it, says about his character. He did not deserve to stand beside McCain.
@@HelenChiou1216 Classic Lyndsey Graham. Always tries to do the right thing but ends up doing the wrong thing.
Kinda wish McCain had become President for 2008 and 2012 and had chosen a different VP, and Obama for 2016 and 2020.
i have never, ever voted for a republican. and i dont just mean in a presidential election, i mean any office. Having said that, and knowing what i now know about the Sen. from Arzona, I would have no qualms whatsoever casting a ballot for him.
The man lead and lived with dignity, integrity, sincerity and poise. The Senator was a great American hero, many times over.
He was a shining example how you CANNOT MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN.
America NEVER stopped being great!
@@larryrobinson5565 Same
I agree
Ik obama was a very strong candidate and people were sick of bush, he should have run later in 2016 but then again his cancer...
imagine obama vs trump debate😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
He hated Trump for Hero comment and defended Obama ! In his own Presidential debate with Obama !
Hero's can be Rhino's when they grow up !
Winning 👍🏻👏🏻💖💖💖💖 thank you McCain ! A true American! And thank you to all the intelligent level headed Senators! A real voice for us !
not so
JOHN MCCAIN IS THE ACTUAL HERO HERE.
He was a really true American hero!!! RIP.
Lindsay Graham always knew the right thing to do, he just doesn't have the spine to stick to it.
The AARP and the Dems realize that R voters may not vote for Dems, but that they love the *benefits of all the Dems' social safety net programs* that America calls civilization.
--- shout out to the GOP for always being against the Dems' social safety net programs ; it always makes them more popular.
John McCain is a national hero! Again!
this is why I like John McCain I know he was a true American even stood up for Obama's and no he's not a racist this is what real Americans about this is what real truth is and this is what a true American hero does may he rest in peace and may the Gates of heaven open up and receive
McConnell’s like batman. One expression for everything 😅
And they had to run it through in the middle of the night like bandits. TY McCain. May you RIP.
Republicans go home and go to bed. That's their idea on healthcare.
Pence: "Can I count on your support?"
McCain: "Support a bill that will deny millions healthcare and that the President, who mocked me for being captured and tortured, really wants to pass so he can "get even" with the former President who mildly roasted him at the White House Correspondence Dinner?"
Pence: "Is that a yes or a no?"
McCain: "😐...You'll find out."
I literally thought this was an Onion article.
💞RIP big man!
If you're gonna replace something, you should prepare a better alternative. McCain did the right thing.
Sen. Crassley - why don't you go home and go to bed. lol he was mad.
John McCain was a patriot before a politician
Nobody:
That one senator: why dont you guys go home and go to bed?
1:08 my senior senator kinda sad that he voted for it
Great Senator from Arizona John McCain🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸❤
The old tomahawk 💪
cant believe Mitch is still with us =-=
Is this scandal or real life?
John McCain is truly an american hero.
Remember politics refers to achieving and exercising. Currently GOP is good in exercising ...not achieving.
3 gop change the route for the healthcare
F in chat for Mccain
Is that grey's anatomy music?
v takom to pripade Kongres musí previesť ná seba právomoci a od blokovať ekonomicku rozbušku
When did Repeal become Repeal and Replace?
John McCain is a rare American with big balls R.I.P KING.
John McCain 😎💯👌
Defects????? U mean u wanna repeal it n make health care expensive milking many n not allowing the ones in need, care. Heartless.
May I ask this?, what does the republican party want to ammend in the obamacare.
Just asking.
That you created. Vote them all out and audit.
Mitch McConnell is in such conflict of interest between pillars of government with his wife serving Trump as Transportation Secretary. Such pathetic GREED !
party of NO
chuck grassely should go to bed he looks tired or it might be that hes just old.
I can't help but wonder about the laceration over his eyebrow. What happened? :'(
He had brain surgery
Mccain = role model
The State of Union is dismal
Iowa needs to cut the Grass.
Kentucky Mitch chicken
Now they are taking about Department of education.
This is like a damn movie or a real life TV series, what a world we're living in lol
what a spineless man John was in his last days. Revenge on the political dynasty that took over "his" party
Mr. Grassley: Why don't you guys go home and go to bed?
Fortnite kids: LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL MAD CUZ BAD LOZERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
John McCain should of picked the Vice President he wanted.
They acted like they were destined to win. That's a very poor way to behave as party leader in the senate
Oh by the way there Leslie Graham Leslie Graham And turtle neck. My son today been in the hospital for 3 days Before you're done with this hospital stay you would have spent one million hospital bills Would somebody care to explain how canceling out Obama care would save him money Because now he could be permanently in debt for the rest of his life and his grandchildren's life

John McCain was a great man. The Affordable Care Act (Obama Care) needed work-but it was a start. I didn't agree with all of his ideas etc., however, Senator John McCain was a hero in more ways than just one and an honorable man. RIP Senator McCain.
John McCain American Hero.

McStain's reward for his duplicity against both his party and his nation, not the first time, was aptly rewarded with his subsequent death.
Your radical party’s hatred of regular conservatives and McCain was a gift to democrats in Arizona. Keep it up.
@@TheEndingAbyss Hm...let's see: what 'radical party' supported slavery, insurrection against the federal government, the Confederacy, opposed the 13th, 14th & 15th Amendments (as well as the Civil Rights Act), Jim Crow laws, the KKK, eugenics, segregation and, best of all, Japanese concentration camps?
@@c.a.g.3130 The same Christian conservative evangelicals that run todays Republican Party. Same guys that have a hatred for elections when they don’t win, same people they love their country only when they win. Same people taking away other people’s rights today with the overturning of Roe. The same people that want to say look at that, to distract from what they do to people today.
@@TheEndingAbyss Sorry, Sam, but you don't know Jack.

caronavirous ????? thanks
Its a cash cow. Its one the largest transfers of wealth this nation has ever seen. Its going nowhere.
the 2017 tax law?
Get off of Obamacare, for now... Get to work
Just repeal the whole ObamaCare. Let the market dictate health care. Allow to buy health care across state lines. Premiums will plummet and everyone will be able to afford it.
How about take healthcare out of the market completely. Why should a few people profit from a lot people being sick. It's disgusting.
mccain is a dud
McCain has something Trump will never have. A lasting positive legacy.
McCain was a real dude not a dud. Nobody that was a prisoner of war is a dud.
As a Republican, it's time to drain the Republican swamp as well... we need Republicans that stand with Trump's agenda. #MAGA
As a Republican as well, you don't seem to understand check and balances of our government. Country over party.
b748i As an independent I applaud your true patriotism. Not many on the left or right are willing to think beyond the party platforms they are glued to, not even for the sake of the nation. #USA 🇺🇸
Jacob you are correct - me too #NoMAGA We don't need this "MAGA" nonsense. our country is already great and will remain a work in progress due to the greatness of the private vote along with the U.S.Constitution
moser411 what agenda is that exactly? Drag america back into the fifties economically so American consumers can be crushed by higher prices when Walmart level goods are made in American factories? Increasing fossil fuel production when inventories of fossil fuels already exceed demand and the smart moneys on renewable energy? Building a wall that cannot be built due to geographic and land title restrictions? Stripping healthcare away from millions of people so they can die in The Street or Rob innocent people for the money they need to survive? Stripping away all environmental protection so americans can get sick from foul air and water and watch their natural heritage get shat on? Damaging the reputation of the US abroad through the leaders incompetence and ham fisted approach to diplomacy? Allowing science to become optional in American classrooms but religion mandatory so American children can become as dumb as those in the third world allowing asia and Europe to prosper in the future over america. Some agenda he's got there!
You need to be more worried about deleting your president's twitter account
a true hero stood up for the american people not fot the rich JOHN McCAIN IS A HERO
