Donald Trump went on a morning Twitter rant attacking Sen. John McCain for his "no" vote on the currently proposed Cassidy-Graham bill to "repeal and replace" Obamacare.
McCain announced yesterday that he opposes the legislation because it wasn't going through the Senate via normal order with hearings and committee meetings. He voted against the last version of healthcare reform for the same reason.
McCain has said publicly that he wants to see Democrats and Republicans work together on healthcare legislation so they can "get it right."
John McCain never had any intention of voting for this Bill, which his Governor loves. He campaigned on Repeal & Replace. Let Arizona down!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 23, 2017
Arizona had a 116% increase in ObamaCare premiums last year, with deductibles very high. Chuck Schumer sold John McCain a bill of goods. Sad— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 23, 2017
Large Block Grants to States is a good thing to do. Better control & management. Great for Arizona. McCain let his best friend L.G. down!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 23, 2017
Along the way, Trump also took some swipes at Republican Sens. Rand Paul and Lisa Murkowski. Paul is a confirmed "no" on the legislation while Murkowski appears to be leaning "no."
I know Rand Paul and I think he may find a way to get there for the good of the Party!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 23, 2017
Alaska had a 200% plus increase in premiums under ObamaCare, worst in the country. Deductibles high, people angry! Lisa M comes through.— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 23, 2017
