Sen. John McCain said Friday he will not
support his party's Graham-Cassidy healthcare legislation, potentially dashing
GOP leaders’ latest hope of dismantling Obamacare. McCain joins Sen. Rand Paul
in publicly opposing the bill, while Sen. Susan Collins said Friday she is
leaning against it.
Senate Republicans can afford to lose no more
than two members of their 52-48 majority and pass the bill by Sept. 30 without
any Democrats voting for it. A vote taken any later than that would have to
garner at least 60 votes rather than a simple majority.
McCain said in a statement that “a bill of
this impact requires a bipartisan approach.” The Arizona senator cast a crucial
“no” vote in July that helped defeat a different Republican bill to repeal
Obamacare. [Newsmax]
