Companies have had to reduce the amount of people they employ as a result of being unable to afford the coverage they’re required to provide. You can be fined for choosing NOT to participate. And even though more Americans are covered the healthcare infrastructure has not changed and only further drowned an already overloaded delivery, extending wait times just as it happened in Canada. It sounds like a disaster to me.

      Same here i disagreed with him on some policies but he was a good man and an honorable man, and i had nothing but respect for him. And honestly if he had been running against anyone other than Obama i would have definitely voted for him. I wish he could have been president i think he would have done an excellent job and just maybe Republicans and Democrats could have worked together and actually gotten things done together i hope we can get there one day for the good of all in our country.

      I'm dying to know why any of this is "good" about Mitt Romney.. Please enlighten me:
      1. Vote for me because I was a businessman, even though I won’t tell you anything about how I ran my business.
      2. My biggest accomplishment as governor was creating socialized medicine for all of my constituents, which is a very bad thing.
      3. Obamacare is the worst piece of public policy in the history of the world and I will abolish it, even though it is an exact replica of my healthcare plan in Massachusetts.
      4. Big government socialized medicine is the worst thing in the world. And that’s why I will spend $750 billion MORE on Medicare, a form of socialized medicine, than Barack Obama would.
      5. Barrack Obama is sending all of Chrysler’s auto manufacturing to China because he…believes in big government and pandering to US unions.
      6. Obama is weak on defense and terrorists, which is why Obama killed Bin Laden and I opposed going after Bin Laden.
      7. Obama is a dangerous radical which is why he spends way too much time…playing golf.
      8. Obama is a European socialist and that’s bad, which is why I want to impose all of the economic policies of austerity used by…European socialists.
      9. I want to cut all top marginal tax rates by 20%, including for the very wealthy, which, of course, will not lower taxes for the wealthy.
      10. I will reduce the deficit and balance the budget by maintaining all popular social programs and tax deductions like the mortgage interest deduction AND by increasing defense spending by $2 trillion spending.

I recall a briefing where doctor after doctor said that the number of cases would go up as time went on without action taken. Then Trump walks onstage and says that the 15 cases will go down to 0 very quickly, well that hasn't happened, America has more cases than any other country in the world, including China and this virus had killed more people than Vietnam.

    If Obama was against Trump, Trump would agree with the crowd and start dancing. This is the first time i hear about this John McCain's presidential campaign and i have to say what a genuine person he is. Things like this makes me belive there is still hope in humanity. Thanks John McCain.

    This is such a praiseworthy thing to do. His own town hall was boo-ing him and he stuck up for his opponent's morality.

    Just because he respected his adversary, Not with petty calling or mocking meant He was a Obama's boy or work for the DNC. It's called having principles and morals.

      You mean "presidential nominee" not "president elect".
      President elect means that you have been elected president, and are awaiting your inauguration.

    Some politicians will do anything to get the votes. That's why McCains statement was really important and should be highly respected.
