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.
No brain
The doctors couldn’t find his brain or needed nano technology to operate?
Very good
Brain surgery? Trying to find one or install one?
First they have to try to find this bastards brain
This is another McCain lie. I had a 2″ square piece of skull removed to remove a small tumor on pituitary gland just under brain. I was off work for 2 months, only to end up retiring 6 weeks later because I didn’t have the stamina to make it through the work day and was much younger and in better physical shape than this ole buzzard. He should retire immediately or die. He was going to be a no vote anyway and is now and has always been a liar and traitor. I rather he died with a military round to his brain for treason. But he’s not the only one.
Retire
Karma
You have to be careful what you say ! This TRAITOR has NO BRAIN.
Lobotomy?
