It looks like the latest version of the Senate's Trumpcare bill has already been killed as John McCain just joined Susan Collins and Rand Paul as definite "no" votes. But there is no reason to relax the resistance as it is pretty clear that Republican attempts to provide massive tax cuts to the richest Americans and corporations by ripping healthcare from millions of Americans will, like a zombie, never die. There will yet be another tweak and another attempt to pass something in the Senate. And even if they can't get it done this year, they will just allow to further undermine Obamacare and the exchanges and then take another run at this before they have to face primaries early next year. Today, we won another battle. But we all need to know that this will be a long war.
