IMPROVED SIGHT?

Right now Senator John McCain is recovering at his luxurious Arizona home after a complicated and, no doubt,  costly eye operation. At the same time Mitch McConnell is impatiently waiting for McCain's return to Washington to vote on the new ''wealth" bill, which will deny millions of Americans affordable health care in order to reward the wealthy with still more tax advantages. One hopes that McCain, after his operation, is gratefully aware how fortunate he is to have had such expert health care in a dangerous situation, and how others with similar afflictions may not be able to afford similar or even lesser treatment. One can only hope that this cruel health bill does not pass, but the Republicans have proven to be heartless so far, so all bets are off.
