Today, we laid to rest arguably one of our country’s most notable war heroes, Sen. John McCainThe past week has been filled with a number of moving tributes and in-depth coverage of his legacy on the battlefield and on the Senate floor.
While our political views differed in many areas, I gained a new level of respect for Sen. McCain the night he saved ObamaCare with a simple thumbs down. It is a gesture that now serves as a bookend for his Senate career and one that saved the health coverage for millions of Americans, particularly those with mental health and substance use challenges.
