Before I thank Senator McCain...

and I will, since he is my Senator and I had contacted his office multiple times to encourage him to vote against this and previous ACA repeal attempts.

But first, let me thank all the Democratic Senators and Representatives who have not only opposed repeal, but went out a limb to pass the legislation in the first place. It wasn't easy, it wasn't close to perfect, but it is saving thousands of lives and giving millions access to medical care that they would lose if the GOP had its way.

They have a week and the mega rich donors are really pressuring them. That is the only language they speak... $$$. This is and never was about people or health, it is all about the rich getting richer through tax cuts and they invested a lot of money to buy GOP reps. McConnell must have a win, do not trust that sneaky evil bastard! Keep calling non stop until Oct 1st. This will be an ongoing fight until then. (202)224-3121...Congress. Please stay vigilant, too many lives are at risk (mine is one of them). Thank you!
