I don’t think healthcare would even have come up as a topic had McCain won. The only reason it did was the leftism of Obama enabling the democrat supermajorities to ram it through at great cost to their own. They’d never have jumped through all those hoops with a Republican president.

Probably not, but if it had, he would. Since 2000, McCain seems to have dedicated his life to harming conservatives.
