reelected him in 2016 that he'd repeal ObamaCare, but only if the Senate followed all the proper "procedures." But that's his excuse now for killing what is likely the last chance to get rid of this law.
After signaling that he could support the latest ObamaCare repeal-and-replace effort authored by Sens. Bill Cassidy and Lindsay Graham, McCain issued a statement saying that "health care reform legislation ought to be the product of regular order in the Senate."
This is, he says, "the only way we might achieve bipartisan consensus on lasting reform, without which a policy that effects one-fifth of our economy and every single American family will be subject to reversal with every change of administration and congressional majority."
McCain's own actions prove that he's wrong.
Remember, ObamaCare itself was hardly enacted using "regular order." The Senate passed the bill using the exact same technique that Republicans have been trying to use to repeal it — called reconciliation — so they could get the bill approved without worrying about a Republican filibuster. Not one Republican voted for ObamaCare
