The surprise announcement on Friday that Arizona Senator John McCain underwent “minimally invasive” brain surgery to remove a blood clot above his left eye left the political world in shock. It also jeopardized passage of the Better Care Reconciliation Act of 2017, the GOP Senate replacement for Obamacare.
While Washington reeled from the news, there were confusing reports as to the details of McCain’s condition and what it might mean for the chances of a health care bill reaching President Donald Trump’s desk for signature this year.
Initial news reports appeared to downplay the seriousness of the procedure performed on the 80-year old senator, a persistent critic of President Trump and a fixture on mainstream media news shows as a political gadfly.
Over the weekend, medical experts began to weigh in on the McCain news and raise serious questions as to what his exact status might be. On the next page, you’ll find more background on his type of brain surgery and how long he might be sidelined before returning to work. Also, you’ll find out what it could mean for a health care bill passing in 2017.
It’s exploratory surgery, let’s be honest…
He’s an idiot to start with, and we can only hope they can’t find the neuron he subsists on… One fewer bottom feeder.
They find a pea sized brain!
Maybe a infection might send him into retirement just saying
I’m not a McCain supporter, but ur comments r horrible!
God Bless him with a quick recovery!
Because enough is enough, oh and McCain has been so good for America? NOT, he gets what he has given!!!!!! Hope the dr. Lies to him as much as he has lied to the USA! Sorry, you ruined what respect ever had for you, sell out, cowardly little man.
We can only hope that it’s bad enough that the traitor has to resign because he can’t complete his job. And I mean traitor in many ways traitor to this country and a traitor to the GOP
Brain cancer
