"Arizonans know that there's no one tougher than John McCain. Roger and I are sending our compassion and love to John and Cindy, and their large, loving family.
As the McCain family has faced down an aggressive form of cancer armed with love and bravery, it is worth remembering that millions of Americans held onto their own health coverage as a result of John's courageous vote last summer.
