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.
Are they sure that any brain matter is actually present
Linda Bingham to me, it’s in God’s hands. I’m not here to argue.
I imagene it was to take all the$#%&!@*he has in his head!!!!
Prayers
do they really thank people will feel sorry for him with what he has done.
i know illness can come at any age, but the older we get, it’s more likely and that’s a very good reason there should be an age limit on these lifetime employees
Time for this Adam Henry to retire.
He needs to retire and take care of his health issues. There is a reason his behavior has been so strange.
Why can’t they eplace him until he gets well ? They would do that for any other job.
Then move over and let someone else take his position! Never have seen such a greedy ole coot. He needs to move aside!!!
