Lindsey Graham just responded to McCain’s decision to not vote for the Graham-Cassidy bill in a mini tweet-storm:
My friendship with @SenJohnMcCain is not based on how he votes but respect for how he’s lived his life and the person he is.

I respectfully disagree with @SenJohnMcCain position not to proceed forward on Graham-Cassidy-Heller-Johnson.

I know Graham-Cassidy-Heller-Johnson is the best chance to repeal and replace Obamacare.

Obamacare is collapsing in Arizona, South Carolina and across the nation -

driving up premiums and reducing choices.
I feel an obligation to fix this disaster and intend to push forward for state-centric health care vs Washington-knows-best health care.

Taking money/power out of Washington & returning it to states to administer HC is the best way to replace a collapsing Obamacare system.

I’m excited about solutions we have found in Graham-Cassidy-Heller-Johnson. We press on.

I’m finding more and more my responses to all this can be summed up in one little icon:
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
It may take the threat of single-payer to finally unify Republicans to get rid of Obamacare in some form or fashion, but that’s a big gamble because some of these Republicans like Collins, McCain, Murkowski, are clearly more Democrat than they are Republican on these and other issues. They might just vote for Single Payer.
