The Daily Quote
“As I have repeatedly stressed, health care reform legislation ought to be the product of regular order in the Senate. Committees of jurisdiction should mark up legislation with input from all committee members, and send their bill to the floor for debate and amendment… We should not be content to pass health care legislation on a party-line basis… The issue is too important, and too many lives are at risk, for us to leave the American people guessing from one election to the next whether and how they will acquire health insurance. A bill of this impact requires a bipartisan approach… I cannot in good conscience vote for the Graham-Cassidy proposal.” - Senator John McCain [R-AZ], 9/22/2017
