In July, McCain killed the proposed GOP healthcare bill because he believed that it would not reform the current health care system.
In an interview with a Capitol Hill reporter, Sen. McCain said he wants the Graham-Cassidy bill to address the concerns of Arizona governor and would support it “reluctantly.” His statement prompted Gov. Ducey to tweet his support for the bill.
In a statement earlier this month, Sen. McCain emphasized that any effort to replace the current health care system “must be done through the regular order of committee hearings, open debate and amendments from both sides of the aisle.”
The Arizona Senator reiterated on Monday that he wants a “regular order.” According to him, “The governor came out in favor, which obviously has some impact, but we’ve also not gone through regular order.I want to know what amendments are in order. I want to know why it is that we haven’t had a product in the last nine months.”
Meanwhile, Sen. Lindsay Graham, one of the authors of the bill commented Gov. Ducey support is a “great day for federalism, bad day for Obamacare. He added that they are gaining the momentum they need.
