Not going to defend Obama care as it was a republican invention after all.    But the republicans had a good 6 years to come up with a plan that would blow Obama care out of the water.  They didn't do it.  The best they could come up with would kick many off insurance rolls and increase costs.   What a pathetic little party that is unable to do anything good.  

As far as McCain, fact remains there are many republicans praying this bill does not pass.  If something happens to McCain, another republican will probably step up.
