Yep it was a middle finger to Trump. He gave the middle finger to the American people at the same time.

It came down to one vote if I recall.
I caused Sen. Mark Begich of AK (D) his political career voting for it.
Obamacare caused every health ins. company but one to leave AK. Premiums skyrocketed, much faster than they had been increasing previously.
All my employees lost their hlth. ins. which they got thru me and which I could no longer afford, were forced to purchase their hlth. ins. on the "exchange, " which had a total of one, yes 1, insurance company to choose from.

I believe him

This refusal is a well-documented and significant part of his experience as a prisoner of war (POW) and is supported by his own accounts and the statements of fellow POWs.
  • The offer: The North Vietnamese offered McCain early release in 1968, shortly after his father was appointed Commander of U.S. Pacific forces. They saw it as a propaganda opportunity and a way to demoralize other POWs.
  • The refusal: McCain repeatedly refused the offer, stating he would only leave if other prisoners who had been captured before him were released first. This was in line with the military's Code of Conduct, which prohibits accepting parole or special favors from the enemy.
  • The consequences: The North Vietnamese reacted with fury, and McCain's torture intensified significantly after he refused the offer. He endured a period of brutal beatings that broke him, leading him to sign a forced "confession" of war crimes.
  • The proof: McCain's refusal is documented in multiple sources:
    • His own words: McCain recounted the experience and his reasons for refusal, which are detailed in his memoirs and interviews, such as those published in U.S. News & World Report and mentioned by Brookings.
    • Fellow POWs: Other former prisoners of war have corroborated his story.
    • Military and news sources: Numerous news articles from NPR, ABC News, Wikipedia, and History.com have verified the incident and McCain's adherence to the POW code.

It couldn't possibly work. It requires the tax payer to subsidies it.
