Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell put off plans to hold a vote on the bill to repeal Obamacare. (July 17, 1A, “Vote delay may benefit GOP foes of health bill in Senate”)
The delay will allow Sen. John McCain, who is at home recovering from the removal of a blood clot above his left eye, time to recover from surgery presumably covered by Obamacare (unless he gets his care from the Veterans Affairs).
When McCain returns to Washington, D.C., he could be the swing vote needed to end the very plan that just saved his eyesight. The irony is delicious.
And I can only imagine what the surgery would have cost if McCain had one of those junk insurance policies proposed by Sen. Ted Cruz.

Note from KBJ: When Ron Fugate loses his ObamaCare, he'll wish he had "one of those junk insurance policies proposed by Sen. Ted Cruz." Note that what Ron calls a "junk" insurance policy is a policy that covers only what one needs. Rush Limbaugh had a great analogy yesterday. Imagine paying only for the cable-television channels that one wants, rather than dozens that one doesn't want. Ron Fugate would call this a "junk" cable plan.
