So how much did we pay to fly McCain in special?

Everyone I know with this disease is warned against flying because of pressure changes. But I don't know any rich people or their evil minions.

Asked if there is even time to get a doctor to sign off on the journey and make the arrangements for the trip, Cornyn snapped: “I’m not a doctor. I quit after organic chemistry.”

Sen. Roger Wicker (R-MS) went into more graphic detail about McCain’s condition, saying that his travel plans hinge on “whether his incision has healed to the extent that he can sit in a pressurized cabin for four hours.”

Pressure changes can cause increased edema. I bet we paid a pretty penny for specialness for him to come and vote to kill us.
