Is this a teachable moment?

To the Editor:

We all wish Sen. John McCain a speedy recovery. Sen. Mitch McConnell kindly delayed the vote on repeal of healthcare and decimation of our safety net until McCain can rejoin the Senate.

This brings up several questions:

1. Is the care the esteemed senator is receiving the same as we receive as lowly citizens under ObamaCare?

2. How would that care change if McConnellCare is passed?

3. After his hospital stay, what would be McCain’s vote on repealing ObamaCare (the best solution to our healthcare crisis so far)?

That’s all I have to say for now.
