He was born in a military hospital, his father was career military.
Then went to the US Naval Academy and then was active duty himself.
And then in the US congress for several decades.

Yes he served and suffered for our country, and I give him full credit.
But he has no idea whatsoever about what it means to be sick and not be
able to see a physician or have extensive medical debt. He takes
health care for granted.

Never a fan of McCain,but,my Sis-in-Law had the same Tumor. The treatment with Radiation and all the drugs that are required with Radiation,really take a toll. She was able to hang on for two months after therapy began. Most people have a 3-14% chance of recovery.

I do hope the McCain Family are able to have one more Christmas Season with the Senator. Does not sound good at this point.

Again,most of us would be wiped out because of lack of or major holes in our Health Insurance Policies.

No one deserves this horrible disease, no matter their status.
