McCain, who gets tax payer cancer treatment, just voted to vote to end Medicare cancer treatment [View all]

And we paid him to do it.

The last time these cuts were triggered, cancer patients were denied treatment. And it's going to happen again. The last time it was resolved when the government shutdown ended. This time it's permanent.

MY cancer is being treated under a Medicare grant that allows rural hospitals to treat cancer locally instead of making them drive 4 hours round trip for their chemo and tests.

anyone who has had a close encounter with cancer ( family, friends, maybe themselves) knows how physically demanding treatment can be.
WE paid for McCain's treatment, but he decides we don't get the same thing.

I am seeing red right now and very glad I do not own a weapon.

This Congress has declared war on anyone who is not a rich white male. period.
We can't afford to be nice against this form of genocide.
