The best (read: most ironic) part about all of this is that the vote was delayed because of McCain's health complications. His surgical procedure, a craniotomy, costs somewhere in the neighborhood of $70,000 (said Google). There's no way an uninsured retiree at his age would have been able to afford such a procedure.
