McCain To Rescue Of ObamaCare?

Health Care: “First, do no harm” is never the maxim of Washington politicians. With a public uprising killing ObamaCare, Sen. John McCain wants “to sit down with the president” and resuscitate it.
[...]
There seems to be a disconnect in McCain’s head, however, between getting good reforms and what he knows the Democrats will do as the majority.
[...]
“I look at this as an opportunity right now . . . . Now, wouldn’t it be a good idea for us Republicans and Democrats to sit down with the president? . . . There’s so many areas that we are in agreement on.”
The answer to that question is “No.” McCain may insist that “one of the fundamentals for any agreement would be that the president abandon the government option,” but things may not work out that way in a final package.
[...]
Does Sen. McCain really think that with the Democrats enjoying a comfortable majority in both houses of Congress he can get the kind of freedom-oriented medical reforms that Republicans propose?
[...]
Key Democrats now admit that a popular uprising has succeeded in derailing the radical health care revolution that Democrats have in mind. Even left-wing politicians now see that Americans prefer standing pat to socialism. Why does Sen. McCain want to get us back on such a dangerous track?
SideBear: Classic McCain… that is why he lost the election… making deals with the Dems.
