McCain Casts Critical Health Care Vote
Summary from the AllSides News Team
Shortly after being diagnosed with brain cancer, John McCain returned to Washington, D.C. to vote in favor of beginning the debate on repealing and replacing Obamacare. In a speech on the Senate floor, he called for more civil discourse, and said he could not yet support the GOP bill as it currently stands. Media coverage varied widely across the aisle - Left-leaning sources were more apt to condemn McCain's willingness to advance the repeal process, while Right-leaning sources emphasized his call for bipartisanship.
