McCain, 80, received the cancer news just days prior of his decision to cast a vote against the ‘skinny’ repeal of ObamaCare.
In a public statement, McCain suggested he did not believe the repeal would ‘actually reform’ the health care system or ensure coverage for individuals.
‘While the amendment would have repealed some of ObamaCare’s most burdensome regulations, it offered no replacement to actually reform our health care system and deliver affordable, quality health care to our citizens,’ McCain said.
