Mccain announces he won't vote for Graham-Cassidy bill.

Anticipating so many alt-right tears on this thread.

I have no sympathy for people whose political position is to threaten the wellness and livelihood of over 20 million Americans.

The 20 million figure, which is based on flimsy assumptions (although any assumption of this nature is going to be flimsy), is mostly voluntary withdrawals from the market due to repeal of the individual mandate. However, there is no question that many people (just not 20 million) would legitimately see their quality of life reduced by this bill.

Do you consider it a voluntary withdrawal if a person stops participating because the premiums rise to a level that they decide they can't afford it anymore?

Just to be clear ,

it's evil when a policy "threatens" the health insurance plans of 20 million people

but it's ok when a policy threatens to extinguish/dramatically scale back the entire private health insurance market, which currently insures 140 million Americans

This is not a binary choice between Graham-Cassidy (or the other repeal efforts) and single-payer.  There are other options.

Say what you want about this decision, but there's no doubt he's a lying hypocrite for doing this. He campaigned on repealing Obamacare but won't even vote for the skinniest repeal.

This isn't hypocrisy.  You're implying that he should vote for any repeal.  I have no doubt that McCain is pro-repeal, but he wants to see it done right (by his standards).  He'd almost certainly vote for a "good" repeal, but all of the attempts so far have been "bad" repeals.
