Killed what?
Trump campaigned on Repeal and REPLACE. He alone changed the narritive to include REPLACEMENT.
The 2 attempts to create Trumpcare previously died do to lack of support within the Republican Party.
McCain killed the " Skinny Repeal". It was sloppy legislation drafted on the back of napkins with the intent to ramrod it through the Senate. It was not a healthcare plan. Had it passed it would have minimally :
Ended the Individual Mandate, and
Put an 8 year hold on the Employer Mandate, and
Given states the ability to cherry-pick the ACA Ten Essential Benefits, including covering preexisting conditions.
McCain's vote was a watershed moment in healthcare history. Just 12 months later, most Republican running in the 2018 midterms, adopted a public position of mandating insurers to cover preexisting conditions. One would think they invented the concept.
