Doctors over all are the number one killer, and without mistakes they are number three, after the diseases they cause by mistreatment.

They did get 50 million CAD from 4 drug companies last year in Canada though.

Request for McCain Investigation for Narcotics Trafficking and War Crimes
By Kadir A. Mohmand on October 23, 2015
To the Honorable Johnny Isakson, U.S. Senator
Chairman of the Senate Ethics Committee
220 Hart Building
United States Senate
Washington, D.C. 20510
The Main Reasons the United States Invaded Afghanistan are to Control the Rare Earth Elements (REEs), Geopolitical, because Afghanistan is the Heart of Central Asia and to Control the Narcotics; U.S. War Profiteers Continue the War and Occupation to Continue Their Profits

Dear Chairman Isakson:

I strongly believe that the Senate Ethics Committee needs to investigate whether or not Senator John McCain, Chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, has conflict of interest problems because his wife, Mrs. Cindy Hensley McCain’s businesses profit from the war in Afghanistan. In addition, it has been reported by Afghan media, Afghan individuals and other western media that intelligence services such as the CIA and MI6 are involved in the drug trafficking in Afghanistan.

But but but what about all the schools and hospitals us good guys have built in Afghanistan? Before the honorable and most high and mighty benevolent western democrazys saved Afghanistan the people there did not even have shoes or pencils and they all cooked thier roots and berries on goat shjt fires, there was no electricity and no running water either. I wonder where the Afghan Navy might like to eventually send thier first aircraft carrier

The doctor says to the man, "So I guess you want that frog surgically removed from your head?"
and the Frog says, "No I want this wart surgically removed off my A$$!"

McCain just sealed his legacy as the Senate’s biggest asshole

Senior Arizona Republican Senator John McCain flew to Washington DC today despite his recent brain cancer diagnosis to make a fiery speech highlighting that he could not vote for the GOP bill to repeal and replace Obamacare as it stands.
And then he voted to allow his colleagues to do just that.

McCain cast a deciding vote in favor of proceeding to debate the bill, creating a 50-50 tie in the Senate that was broken by Vice President Mike Pence, who’s affirmative vote allowed the vote to pass.
“I will not vote for the bill as it is today,” McCain said after the vote. “It’s a shell of a bill right now. We all know that. I have changes urged by my state’s governor that will have to be included to earn my support for final passage of any bill. I know many of you will have to see the bill changed substantially for you to support it.”

I'll betcha McCain's health insurance is all paid up. Will the insurers cut of payments after their "break even point" is missed or will they continue to treat him because he is famous?

Half a dozen health-care threads, and you choose to air your hate in one about McCain. Interesting.

John McCain: Brain cancer prognosis ’very poor’
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON — U.S. Sen. John McCain says doctors have given him a “very poor prognosis” as he battles brain cancer.
McCain underwent surgery in July for a brain tumour that was later found to be a form of glioblastoma, the same type of cancer that took the life of his former Senate colleague Edward M. Kennedy in 2009. McCain tells CBS’ “60 Minutes” in an interview that aired Sunday night that he thinks about Kennedy a lot. He says Kennedy continued to work despite the diagnosis and “never gave up because he loved the engagement.”
McCain says he has “feelings sometimes of fear of what happens,” but counters that with gratitude for having lived “a great life.”
He adds: “it’s not that you’re leaving, it’s that you — that you stayed.”
