PhoenixNewTimes-
Amid the outpouring of support for the senator from politicians across nation, Los Angeles Times reporter Jessica Roy insinuated that some dramatic irony was taking place. In a now deleted tweet, Roy wrote, “My friend’s husband died of glioblastoma in AZ. They wrote a letter to McCain begging for his help. He advised them to move.”
Savvy Twitter users located this friend and identified her as Tasha Pratt-King, who was the subject of a 2010 Phoenix New Times article, “‘Til Death Do Us Part …” about her husband Kevin “Wash” Pratt’s diagnosis.
“We wrote to McCain in 2010 to beg him to help Wash keep AHCCCS insurance. McCain sent us a letter back saying it might be best to move out of Arizona because he did not consider health insurance (and thus, access to health care itself) a human right.”
Kevin died in September 2012.
The tumor has affected his ability to reason. His vote should be declared invalid and he should be suspended from all senatorial duties until a full mental evaluation is conducted.
Being a traitor, heartless and stupid is no way to go through life, but McCain has made a career out of it and became a multi-millionaire.
Forty years too late is what it was.
Not karma, if it was karma it would have happened a long time ago.
One final crash for him and there’s no ejection seat this time. Bub bye, Johnny!
They should install a urinal on top of his grave. Might come in handy.
I would like to publicly apologize for voting for John McCain in 2008.
Meerkat, I suspect that you were really voting for Sarah Palin, like me. What a disgraceful state of affairs that this man was the best we could muster for a candidate.
If we had a true Republican leader in the Senate he would tell these traitors they no longer sit on any committees
So, does President Trump have any say as to what type of state memorial or funeral can be held for a member of Congress?
Not that DJT would do anything petty or vindictive as McCain just did to him and DJT voters.
This story, a rare occurrence of glioblastoma in a young man, is used to not-so-subtley advance socialized medicine. Surprising, isn’t it.
The young man in the story was just 24 was diagnosed with a frontal lobe tumor eight centimeter in diameter. He was just starting out life with his newlywed wife, 22. They had good jobs but hadn’t save any money. I didn’t see a mention of insurance before the diagnosis, so it seems they applied for AHCCCS after the fact.
Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System, or AHCCCS, the state’s publicly funded health plan DID kick him off the plan because they earned $4.12 too much, but “AHCCCS administrators relented and put Kevin back on the program.” The wife was able to stay home and caregive and receive food stamps. They wrote letters to everyone, including Nancy Pelosi trying to navigate the byzantine system applying for public assistance.
It’s a hard luck situation to be sure. But it argues for portable, mandatory, affordable, catastrophic healthcare insurance for the young, not for more government involvement.
Other than illustrating similar personality changes (forgetful, violent, loss of humor), it really has nothing to do with McAmnesty.
VerCon, He is ambivalent toward you, at best.His thinking is me, me, me, mine, mine, mine.
I voted for mccain in ’88. I wish i knew then what i know now.
Maybe karma. Call me when Hillary dies of pneumonia. Or gets ass-raped, murdered and dragged through the streets of Brooklyn.
Really looking forward to the funeral, John. Wouldn’t miss it for the world.

Yes.
What I want to see is Trump, by executive order, making all these Pieces of Shit get on the exchange. All for one and one for all!
He’s Arizona’s fault, let Arizona bury him, not one red cent of federal money.
The correct burial would be by cats.
Was McCain’s Devastating News Karma?
It certainly is karma.
Yo F.D.R.! Is McStain getting a pitchfork rammed up his ass yet or is he still wasting oxygen?
Phuck him, karma is up and operational you piece of shit.
Instant karma’s gonna get you
Gonna knock you right on the head
You better get yourself together
Pretty soon you’re gonna be dead
