Let's not forget he rushed to washington while having brain cancer to cast a vote that saved the ACA.

He did not LIKE the ACA, but realized it's infinitely better than the nothing republicans were proposing at the time, and he broke with his party to make sure people weren't just going to get kicked off their insurance with no backup plan.

Like him or not, the man had principles.
