    Only if he gets to ask it rambling questions in a congressional hearing about its collusion with Hillary Clinton.

    McCain sounds remarkably like a Democrat. Bitching about a bill he has not read.

    "Both Democrats and Republicans in the Senate have complained that Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) has crafted the bill largely behind closed doors and without the input of his fellow lawmakers."

    Not only do I wonder whom the Republican is that complained (McCain doesn't count) but the statement is utterly false. They all have had opportunity for input. Offering none before the bill closed for drafting by the designated group, is not something to whine about.

    They're tryna pass this shit by reconciliation in the Senate. Thus ain't no fuckin' healthcare bill. This is more tax breaks for the rich and the destruction of Medicaid.

    well, if socialist Russia is giving input, all of those #withBERN and many of those #withher should love it!

    But in the words of another 15-term Congresswoman, you gotta pass it to see what's in it.

    Now it's your turn. Well you supported the system. It doesn't even feel better to see you have your turn.

    my turn? I pay taxes if that's your point....you can't support a system you've never seen....Trumpcare.....strangely enough...dental work my wife and I had scheduled is now more affordable to us by flying overseas and having the work done than having it done locally...including the cost of the trip....something inheritantly wrong with that but like I said.....I'll adjust.........

    Why? They haven't passed anything yet as far as I know.

    I keep seeing a commercial saying what will happen if they pass this mystery bill and it sounds terrible.

    I suppose river's insurance company could be owned by Russians which would make McCain seem correct.

    they are an insurance company...Trump declared Obamacare dead....guess they think they no longer have to accept it...capitalism rears it's ugly head but it's going to backfire in their case....my local dentist will also lose my business...how this improves things is beyond me but I guess we're going to arm the middle east instead of contribute to our own populations health care..

    No explanation is the problem. Who, what when where why? You get no answers.

    I'm way right of most of you here but we need some kind of insurance reform. This isn't working, Obamacare wasn't as bad for everyone but none of these ideas make sense on the surface. Someone has to pay.

    MarAzul didn't even gloat, even though it happened to him first. Good on him.
